'Have you forgotten why I came this way, ${PLAYER}? I am here in the Vales of Anduin as escort for the waggon bearing Isildur's bones northward! Yes, the son of Elendil will at last complete the journey he began at the start of the Age, and by so doing see the fulfilment of his oath! I left the waggon to partake of Grimbeorn's hospitality, for his dogs serve a merry feast, but it is past time for this Wizard to return to service. And you should come with me! Are you not tied up in this business as well?

'Do not give me that look. I had very little to do with your getting involved, if you remember. I daresay I could not have stopped you, had I the mind to try. I will see you alongside the waggon. The driver should have reached Laerlad by now. Look for him along the road beside the Gladden Fields.'

The shade of Isildur feels the presence of his bones, and follows with interest their northward course along the river.
