'It has been a long march, ${PLAYER}...

'I can speak only for myself, but I am prepared for what may come when we reach the Black Gate. If my death awaits, I shall welcome it in the service of Gondor and of King Elessar. Even still, it is a weight to bear... and each man here bears it.

'I have seen much in these last days that I never imagined, and I am sure more still awaits beyond my sight. For all of these unknown joys or ills, I have not seen the Elves in this company falter even once. Whether they fear or not as Men do, they seem charmed.

'I wonder what eases them so in such times, and I wonder if it might offer some comfort to our company. Would you speak to them, my friend?'

Legolas can be found on the north-western ramparts of Haerondir.

Echil has asked you to speak to the Elves at Haerondir as their resolve has not visibly faltered. You should speak to Legolas first.

Objectives

Talk to Legolas

Elladan and Elrohir can be found on the eastern ramparts at Haerondir.

You have spoken to Legolas, but he has not experienced what Echil described. You should now speak to Elladan and Elrohir instead.
