Hoping to find any means to slow the advance of the Ruthless Dead, Tancestel begs you to call upon the fabled Sister of the Gilrain.
'Long ago, the people of Gondor spoke of five sisters... one that held sway over each of the rivers of Lebennin. Now, most people think them little more than a tale passed down from their forebears, but I assure you... they are as real as I am.
'Before you ask... no, they have not revealed themselves to us, but it has been said that they return to watch over us in times of strife. With war at our gates and the sky smothered in fumes and smoke, I can think of no more likely time for them to return.
'The faithful of my people pay tribute to the Sister of the Gilrain and we hold river-stones in her honour. Take my stone and travel to the mere along the Gilrain. Once you are there, lay it at the water's edge and let us hope our faith has not been misplaced... or the Dead will consume us all.'
The mere can be found far to the north and slightly east of Linhir in Dor-en-Ernil.
