Hármelak has decided that, in the wake of Azagath's betrayal, the people of Umbar Baharbêl need to be reassured that the Kindred of the Coins are working to ensure their safety and prosperity.
'We will reassure the folk of Umbar Baharbêl that the peace will continue, and prosperity will be theirs. The Kindred of the Coins will hear their concerns and act upon them. The Meeting-hall of Dâr Laja must be reopened. Its doors have remained shut for too long, and the voice of the people has grown distant.'
Hármelak's eyes shimmer in the light of her richly-decorated chamber.
'When you were last here, ${PLAYER}, I spoke some words concerning the Sea-shadow. You have now seen what I then believed, and still do: he was not trustworthy, and owed his allegiance to some other. I think now that he drew his powers and his strength from forces unnatural, from He-Who-Sees-All... from Sauron. For your part in deposing him, in driving him from Umbar, you have my gratitude. I know you are not from this land, but I believe you have a giving heart, a charitable will, and an understanding mind. Will you help me set right what Azagath and Nakási have disturbed?
'If so, speak with Jaith, who guards Dâr Laja here in the Upper Ward of the city. He will tell you what must be done to reopen the Meeting-hall. It may take some time, but with this decision I hope we take the first steady steps toward a brighter future for Umbar and its people.'
Jaith told you that Heirsworn in the Sail-haven might have absconded with the keys to Dâr Laja, and they must be recovered before the hall can safely be opened to the people.
