'It is unlikely to be a simple matter, but there may be a way to discover more about this lichen. Once, I recall, Master Galathir spoke of a great tome - a supposed great collection of knowledge about the plants and such-like of Middle-earth, called \qWorts and Weeds.\q When I showed interest, he forbade me from leafing through it, for he said it contained spurious anecdotes of specimens not seen in his age, and besides, it was a damaged copy, far from complete.

'I... I have come to doubt much of my Master's wisdom. But - never mind that. This \qWorts and Weeds\q was penned by a Man of Gondor named Golgolas, who dwelt within Ithilien before it fell under the Shadow, and it is said it was widely read and copied by the Herbalists of that day.

'Do you think - would you visit the ruins and places of North Ithilien, and discover if any pages of that book still remain? Torngroth, Cair Andros, or Osgiliath, for example? Who can say, perhaps good, old Ioreth would share the pages Galathir would not.

'Meanwhile, I have asked the Rangers to provide me passage to the edge of the Wastes. Although they took much convincing, they have agreed. If I am to gain a better understanding of this lichen, I shall need to be closer to the lands of the Enemy - no matter how hostile they may be.

'They plan to take me to an army encampment - one with which they claim you are familiar. When you've gathered as much as you can of \qWorts and Weeds,\q find me far to the north.'

Torngroth can be found far to the north in North Ithilien, Cair Andros can be found to the south-west of Henneth Annûn, Osgiliath can be found to the east of Minas Tirith, and Ioreth can be found in the High Hall within the Masters' Tier of Minas Tirith.

Mílgamel has asked you to investigate Cair Andros, Osgiliath, and Torngroth in the hope of finding more pages from \qWorts and Weeds.\q She also has asked you to return to Ioreth to obtain Galathir's transcription of the book.
