'If there is one thing that I have learned from my time in Moria, it is that any place may feel safe, until it does not. If Máttugard is to be reclaimed, then I shall make sure it is safe for all those who join in entering this mountain city.

'The Orcs and trolls do not venture to Máttugard often. In the absence of all, it would seem many creatures have made a home in the old halls and gardens of the Mighty Court. I am particularly concerned by the gredbyg that buzz around the old halls. They were more than just a nuisance in Moria and we should take care to do our part in dealing with these insects. There are two gredbyg hives that I would like to carefully explore in Máttugard. Will you join me?'
