'Elfdag's adventure beneath the Dwimorberg may have been ill-advised, but it has given us warning of a new danger. Aragorn has passed into Gondor, and it seems from Elfdag's report that he is followed by some number of the Dead that believe he can offer them redemption. I cannot say if it be true or if it be false, but as long as the Dead Men believe it, Aragorn need not fear them.

'But this other group, these Ruthless Dead... if they have forever cast their lot in with Sauron, then Aragorn will have no safety from them. Neither will the folk of Gondor, and our friends' passage may have planted a dangerous seed in the minds of the Ruthless Dead: with no hope of redemption, what reason is there to remain within the Mountain? If you have no desire to atone for your evils, what would prevent you from adding to the number of your sins?

'I ask you to travel the Paths of the Dead, ${PLAYER}, and by that way come into Gondor. The people there must be protected, and if they cannot be saved from the threat of the Ruthless Dead they must flee to a place of safety, if any still exists in this world.'
