'So where does your road now lead? Old Cardolan, you say?'

Skardí strokes his beard.

'There's not a lot there, as I understand it. To hear Meneldir talk, you'd think it was a great kingdom, but that was long ago. Claimed by war and plague it was, apparently, and now it's remembered mainly by Rangers and by scholars, and by those with the misfortune to hear them go on about it!

'I'll not stop you. But if you're going that way you'll need to cross the river at Tharbad. The bridge there is out, and the crossing will not be pleasant. Enjoy yourself, ${PLAYER}. I will stay here in my shop, where it is warm and dry!'

Meneldir advised that you consider the crossing of the Gwathló at Tharbad very carefully: the river has a dangerous reputation where it passes through the city.
