'A fellow Ranger and I were to scout the square, but we became separated. His name is of no import to you, for you did not know him as I have.

'I saw him scout near the old Palace of King Eldacar, but then he was lost from sight and I had to fall back. The Palace is a grim place, and I believe the Enemy seeks to use it as a stronghold for his servants - the Nazgûl. They spend much of their time up above on those vile beasts, but I have seen them pass among the forces here in Osgiliath and even the Orcs recoil at their approach.

'If he has gone into the palace, he is likely dead, but I wish to know for certain. Search the palace, and return to me here when you have finished. Only then shall we speak of returning to the tunnels.'

The Palace of Eldacar can be found due west of Halhir in western Osgiliath.

You have not found Halhir's ally, and should now search within the ruins of the Palace.
