'We find ourselves in a curious position, ${PLAYER}. The shade of Isildur was bound to the land where he fell, much as was the shade of Arvedui, in Forochel. But here, Isildur's shade was kept hidden from searching eyes by the arts of Gultháva, the Maiden of the Gladden. Her sorceries made him forget, but as they fall away I believe his memories will return. He could tell us much of what befell him during the opening years of the Third Age, when he perished in the Gladden Fields and the Ring was lost. I and others of the Wise have pieced together some of the story, but here we have an occasion to learn the true account, and I would not miss it!

'But this is not merely an academic interest, ${PLAYER}, as important as that may be. No, the shade of Isildur may shed some light on another matter that concerns us most directly. I trust you have not forgotten the Black Book of Mordor and the dread Gúrzyul who seeks it? I have not yet deciphered all of its pages, but my study did reveal frequent appearances of the name \qMagoldir\q within its covers. Now, the records show an Elf named Magoldir served in the company of High King Gil-galad during the Siege of Barad-dûr at the close of the Second Age. Can this be the same Magoldir? I think it may be, and the shade of Isildur could help us learn more of him.

'I propose we return to Tol Send to speak with Isildur, but not alone. No, let us bring some others who also fought at the Siege, and who might help Isildur recover his memories. I speak of two Elf-lords who have come to the Beorninghús at this most fortuitous time: Elrond and Glorfindel, both of Rivendell. Bring them word of my intent and let us all meet on the Isle of Flowers in the Gladden Fields, where we will speak with the shade.'

Glorfindel is outside the Beorninghús.

Gandalf and Elrond wish for you to ask Glorfindel to go with you to Tol Send, there to speak with the shade of Isildur about several matters of import.
