Éowyn has called you to Dunharrow, where the muster of the Rohirrim is well underway. Troubles weigh heavily upon her brow, especially concerning your mutual friend Aragorn and a decision he has made of late.

Stage 3

'${PLAYER}! I am glad you have come with such haste, for these troubles weigh heavily upon me and I do not know how they may be o'erthrown! It is my uncle's choice to ride to Minas Tirith, and thereby satisfy the vows of his forefathers, but why should he not ride for Gondor with every sword he can command, either by oath or love? It is folly to allow proven warriors to abandon my uncle's course, lest it be doomed by their absence!

'And yet, in the early hours, Aragorn and his kinsmen departed Dunharrow for the Paths of the Dead! He spoke of need, but I can see no need on that road, save that of a yawning tomb that hopes to be filled. The dead men of Dunharrow do not suffer the living to pass.

'Several of the Men saw him go, and speak words of despair. Find these Men and set their minds aright, if you can. And when you return, do the same for me, ${PLAYER}! I do not think you can, but I must wear a brave face for the Men and will not give in to sorrow, for their sake.'

Darláf, Sídrac, and Bosa can be found at the encampment in Dunharrow, south of Éowyn's position.

Éowyn has asked you to comfort some of the Men at the encampment in Dunharrow, for they heard of Aragorn's departure and have begun to question the wisdom of Théoden's ride to Minas Tirith.
