'It pains me to ask this of you. The Thane in Gapholt has long despised my family and will blame me and my father for allowing the city to fall; however, we need his aid now more than ever.

'He is of pure Rohirrim blood, which is rare in these parts, and is not understanding of the Dunlending half-bloods. Please leave for Gapholt at once and try to convince him to aid us.'

Gapholt is south and west of Woodhurst, nestled on a cliff well above the Gap of Rohan.

Gapholt is one of the few places still untouched by the war that surrounds it and has become a safe haven for Rohirrim refugees.
