'I beg you not to look so suspiciously at me; I require your discretion and aid. I have built a life for myself here in Umbar, and I do not wish it disturbed.

'As a foolish youth, I was lured here from Gondor by a cult you might recognize as the cult of the All-Seeing Eye. I have since renounced their ways, but I live in terror they may one day learn I yet live, and use the horrors of a terrible artifact to punish me for my betrayal.

'The members of the cult skulk about Tâkhdar and should not be difficult to encounter, but the artifact must still be hidden in a coffer on the eastern side. I have no right to ask such a favour of you, but please, would you find a way to retrieve the artifact for me so I may rest easy?'
