'Barallas is a wise Ent, and he is my elder. However, many are elders to us, for us young Ents are all that remain here. My bark looks old and weathered, you say? Old, my small friend... may still be young to us.

'The monster, Núrzum, has been a cause of great destruction to my friends in this forest. The cries of the trees as he pulled them from the earth is not something I long to hear again. His assault on this forest was swift and brutal, and many of his damages remain still.

'Along the side of that twisted path through the forest that the Orcs defile with their crude machinery, you will find his handiwork smashed into the earth.

'If you search for signs of his destruction, I would ask that you examine them... for strange things have been cropping up in this forest as of late, and none of them good.'
