'This I believe, my friend: if the Rohirrim do not come to the aid of Gondor, Minas Tirith will fall. There is little time left! Already the armies of Mordor approach; the city will soon be encircled.

'Soon, I say, but not yet! Go to the lowest level of Minas Tirith and enter the City Stables, just within the entrance to the city! Speak to Lobordil there, and he will arrange for a rested steed to bring you past the line of the Enemy before it can close upon the city! You must follow the road north into Talath Anor and seek for Théoden and his Riders. If you find them, tell them to hasten!

'If you do not find them, it will not matter even if you proceed all the way to Meduseld. Minas Tirith will have fallen by the time you reach it, and no one will be of help then.'

Lobordil is in the City Stables of Minas Tirith.
