The memory of losses suffered during the War of the Ring remains to trouble the people of the Blackroot Vale.
'I do not wish to climb this hill again, ${PLAYER}; the memory is grim. When last we stood atop the summit, a great host gathered about King Elessar. They were those who broke their oath to Isildur, and they came to his descendant that they might fulfil it, and have peace.
'Many were the shades of dead Men that followed in our train when we departed Erech, and they were the fighters who wrested control of Pelargir for the Grey Host. Without this army of the Dead, we could not have seized the Corsair ships that bore us to the Harlond, and Minas Tirith.
'The shades who gathered about King Elessar atop this Hill redeemed their oath, and recovered their honour. Should that make it pleasing to recall for we who were there? I do not believe it does. Speak with Caebar and Gimli, and afterwards we will proceed to Morlad on King Elessar's business.'
Their oaths forever broken, the Ruthless Dead now haunt the Blackroot Vale with renewed hatred for the living. Gimli thinks you should inconvenience them, since he isn't certain they can be slain. Ruthless Dead can be found atop the Hill of Erech at night, and on the road to the Paths of the Dead at any time.
