'Well met, ${PLAYER}. I awaited your return, and I am pleased you have come.

'I have sent word to the leaders of the North, and I informed them that you would aid them in preparing for the coming battle against Vethúg Wintermind. Ah, and before you ask, I am not playing a trick on you this time. When Vethúg's coming still remained in doubt, I was of such a mind, but no longer.

'Each of our peoples will prepare in their own way, but I would send you to aid them. It may be an old foe of Durin's Folk that comes to the North, but the world is changed, and we have more now to consider than our own delvings. Aid the peoples of Dale and Lake-town, and then assist the Elves of Felegoth. King Thranduil offers his finest archers in the defence of Erebor, and I would thank him for it!

'Be swift, friend. We must be prepared for when Vethúg comes to Erebor!'
