'Our Alliance is composed of the mightiest heroes of the age, ${CLASS}, and together we have achieved many victories. But here, after seven years of siege, our triumphs are mere memory. Sauron has outmaneuvered us. If we cannot overcome his domination of the Ghâzab Bôron, it will not matter how many great heroes stand with us. Our defeat will be certain, and it will be forever.

'If Lendelen is trustworthy, as I am told he is, there are few only who can break the spells enwreathing the Oath-stone. They must reach the chamber in which it lies, though it be kept within Barad-dûr itself. Their purpose must be hidden from Sauron, for if he learns what they seek to do he will turn his every thought upon preventing it. If he sees a ${CLASS} among the most powerful High Elves that walk in Middle-earth, he may hesitate. \qWhat purpose do you serve?\q he may wonder, and in that briefest of delays the mission of the Bright Company might be accomplished. It is a hard thing to ask, ${CLASS}, but we must seek every advantage we can. It is likely you will not return.

'But there are still preparations to be made before the Bright Company departs. You should find the Hól-budlan matriarch Tûka, somewhere to the east of our encampments, for she intended to scout the entrance to the tunnel discovered by her people.'
