Bestowal Dialogue
'If the vision that so troubled Venko is the result of some Angmarim ritual, I think I know just where we will find the source of it. What do they call their tower? Tûr Fúar, the Drearspire? If those orders you recovered are to be believed, it may be that the complement of guards promised by Magith the Scather has not yet been dispatched to fortify the tower.
'Let us sneak inside and put an end to whatever magic these cultists think to unleash. We will all be the better for it, and Venko not least of all!'

- 'I believe you, for I also saw someone impossible. I saw a dwarf-woman named Anorta, who I knew during my captivity in Mordor. I escaped from the Black Land, but Anorta did not. She is dead. She could not be here... and yet I saw her standing just ahead, just as I remembered her.'
Objective 6
- Talk to Venko at the Witch-gate
Venko is at the Witch-gate, waiting to speak with you about what you saw.

- You tell Venko that you beheld an Elf named Thelaron, who was captured by Sauron during the Battle of Dagorlad and suffered grievous torment in Mordor. He nods solemnly.
