Walkthrough & Notes
Go to the top of Weathertop for the stone There are two routes to the top of Weathertop. The long way spirals clockwise around the mountain starting on the north side. The short way starts south south-east of Candaith's camp, and swiftly climbs a steep path to the peak. Take a rubbing from the Rune-covered Rock.

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'As I was returning from the lands to the east, the night sky over Weathertop was lit by bright flashes of white light, akin to lightning, yet no clouds darkened the sky and of thunder there was no sound. 'I think that no ordinary storm visited Amon Sûl that night. I ask you to search the ruins atop Weathertop and see if there is anything to find, my friend. 'If you find anything out of the ordinary, return to me immediately.' Background As Candaith returned from his journey in the lands to the east, he saw flashes atop Weathertop of white light, akin to lightning, though there was no storm. Objective 1 Search the summit of Weathertop for anything unusual Weathertop towers above Candaith's camp. Candaith asked you to search Weathertop for anything out of the ordinary and to bring any news or evidence that you may find back to him. Candaith: 'Something went on atop Weathertop that night, <name>, and I want to know what it might have been. Search the summit for anything out of the ordinary and return to me if you find anything.' You take a rubbing of the runes on the rock and put it in your pack Objective 2 Bring the rock-rubbing to Candaith Candaith's camp is at the foot of Weathertop. You found a rune-covered rock and took a rubbing of the markings. You should return to Candaith and learn if he knows what the runes might mean. Candaith: 'Ah, you have found something? Let me see this rock-rubbing you have made. 'The runes are common, but I do not know what they signify. I am afraid this does not tell me much of the lightning, <name>, but it tells me something of the source. Likely the same person responsible for sending you to me.'
