'Once there was a group of Men who respected the land and nature, and saw the beauty of the mountains and the vales between them. I was unlike them, of course, being a Wizard, but I did see some of myself in them. More than a little! I gave them a gift: the gift of skin-changing. I taught them how to use it, and as they practiced the art they became closer to nature, and I was most glad for them. They were a good people, and they remained so to this day: the Beornings of the Vales of Anduin.

'But other Men became jealous of the gift. They captured one of the skin-changers, and tortured him, and in the end he gave away the secret art. These evil ones were driven mad by this new power, a power they were never intended to wield. These were the Gauredain, men of the wolf, and the Ungoledain, men of the spider.

'I should have been more careful, ${PLAYER}. I repented of the gift, for once it was stolen I could do nothing. Now the Woodmen face a peril of my own creation. We must find their encampment and protect them from the leader of the Ungoledain. Mengris Tásakh, did they call it?'
