'My son asks my guidance in winning a war.'

Thorin chuckles to himself.

'I may not be a warrior in the manner of my father, ${PLAYER}, but I know well enough that those of Kharum-ubnâr learned such lessons long ago.

'After all, it was Dáin who organized the Kharum-ubnâr after the war's end. It was to be comprised of those who survived the Sixth War, and those descended from Marasrân—the Burned Dwarves of Azanulbizar. Agnar, Lági, and Reithvald are not the only dwarves of that order who still dwell within the Lonely Mountain, my friend. Perhaps their wisdom might be of use to my son....'

Thorin thinks for a moment, stroking his beard. After a moment, he produces a small scrap of paper and writes upon it a short message.

'Within the Dwelling-halls of Tumnu-dûm, there is an order-hall of the Kharum-ubnâr. It is known among Durin's Folk as Akrâz-zahar, and there you might find a dwarf named Hersegg. She is barely beyond the age of a stripling, but she is the granddaughter of one of the greatest heroes of Azanulbizar, and more importantly, one of the dearest friends of my father, Dáin.

'I have written her a note asking that she might introduce you to the works of her grandfather, Hermáth Stormhammer. She, too, is well-studied in the lore of Durin's Folk, possessing wisdom beyond her years.

'Deliver this missive to her, and she will understand what I ask.'
