'I am glad you have come to the Cave of the Avorrim, ${PLAYER}, for with the dawn came messages from afar, and one of these concerns you directly. The Lady of Lórien speaks in cryptic words, but I can discern enough to know that you will be able to interpret her wishes.

'Lady Galadriel speaks of a Gondorian man on an errand he believes important. It has drawn him into the Dead Marshes by the Battle Plain of old, and his feet are dogged by servants of the Enemy. The Lady of Lórien does not need to express her desire in words for me to know what drives this message: she does not want this Gondorian man to draw the attention of the Orcs to this place.

'The Avorrim keep several fast horses for their personal use, but none so swift as that cared for by our Master of Horses. Speak to him and ride to the Dead Marshes with all the speed you can muster, and hasten this Gondorian back to his home-lands before he causes great harm by his presence there.'
