'When trade with the southern kingdoms thrived, the flat ground to the east of the city was alive with a colourful assemblage of tents and caravans preparing to depart along the Road of Riches. Now there are few, for such trade has slowed to but a trickle, but theirs is the road upon which we will begin, and follow it eastward until we find some sign of Azagath.
'There should be a guard-post east along the road. Let us go there now and see what its sentries have seen.'
The first step of your journey lies to the east of the city, along the Road of Riches, at the guard-post Belondor suggested.
Sand-flies can be found in the vicinity of Khashig's guard-post, east of Umbar Baharbêl.

Hûta is at his guard-post beside Telperiën's Wall.
Hûta gave you directions to the village of Iridír in Ambarûl, east of Telperiën's Wall.
