'${PLAYER}, I have received an urgent missive from the Master of Lake-town regarding Karazgar.

'It seems the smugglers in league with Karazgar have succeeded in delivering their cargo to his agents in Esgaroth-of-old. If the cargo is similar to what you discovered, it will be filled with cold-drakelings. I believe that Karazgar seeks more dragon bones in his misguided belief that they will bolster his strength or grant him some measure of sorcery, but none know the truth of this matter. I would ask that you travel to Esgaroth-of-old and put a stop to his agents. If Karazgar's agents have gathered the slain drakelings among the bones of Smaug, burn their remains before they fall into his hands.

'Once Esgaroth-of-old is free of his influence, I would ask that you return to Erebor. The King Under the Mountain is troubled greatly by what you learned of Hrímil Frost-heart in your vision and wishes to speak with you.'

Esgaroth-of-old can be found to the east of Eryn Lasgalen on the banks of the Long Lake.

Thranduil has learned that Karazgar's agents have returned to Esgaroth-of-old, and he seeks to put an end to the Weeping Warrior's plot against the North.
