'Before Sarn Ford was attacked by the terrible riders in black, we received word that brigands were gathering at Gaervarad, to the south, and we planned to dispatch a force of Rangers to deal with them. Brigands! Such foes seem so trivial now!

'But no, I speak rashly. They are still a danger to the folk who live in these lands, though my people's concerns seem more pressing in the aftermath of the attack some days gone! There is never just one thing, is there?

'Will you go to Gaervarad and deal with the massing of the brigands? If one danger is ignored, that will be the one that overmasters us, or so says my worried heart.'

Rothavron is at Sarn Ford.
