'It has been mere days, ${PLAYER}, but I have learned much of things that were beyond our sight. My scouts have travelled much of Eryn Lasgalen and they have discovered far more than what we sought.

'It seems the Old Mother, Iphantemel, has become trapped in Torech Emel by the excess of her own appetite. It was she that bound Caras Tilion and blighted Mirkwood before Sauron hid within Dol Guldur. It was she who wounded me in that failed battle of old!

'Do not think I have forgotten your purpose in coming here. I have great reason to suspect that the Weeping Warrior remains in my realm, but that matter must be set aside for the moment. If I have guessed Karazgar's true purpose in returning to Eryn Lasgalen, he will not find what he seeks. Indeed, there shall be time enough to find him when this task is done.

'Iphantemel must be brought low and her blight forever banished from Eryn Lasgalen!'

King Thranduil can be found in Felegoth.

You have defeated Iphantemel and forever banished her blight from Eryn Lasgalen. You should talk to King Thranduil.
