'The siege is well and truly begun, ${PLAYER}. We must hope that our preparations were enough, and that the gate stands strong. It should hold the enemies outside at bay for some hours, I hope, but it is the enemies within our walls that concern me right now.

'Look at the model of the city, and the scroll that now decorates it. This message is the work of the Withered Tree. 'The End Has Come?' That may be so, but I am going to ensure that the Withered Tree reaches its end before we do! Some member of that group gained access to the Dome of the Sun and committed this act while we were busy elsewhere.

'I am the Captain of Tidings, and I send forth errand-riders throughout the city and to other parts of Gondor, but that is not my only title. I am also the Spy-master of Minas Tirith, and I know how a group like the Withered Tree operates. They must have gained some of the pass-words for the upper Circles of the city. Húrin must change the pass-words, ${PLAYER}. We have not used the current set for as long as usual, but in time of war three hours may seem like days! Ask him for new pass-words, and give them to the guards at the gates in the upper Circles. Then find members of the Withered Tree in the lower Circles and make them cease their hateful whisperings! I will meet you in the First Circle when you have proved successful.'
