Halbarad's Study December 8th

Halbarad's Study December 8th
Region:	North Downs
Settlement:	Esteldín
Location:	[9.4S, 41.2W]

Halbarad's Study December 8th is located at Esteldín Central Courtyard, in North Downs. ^{[9.4S, 41.2W]}

Halbarad's Study Exterior

The study is found at the northern side of the courtyard, near the library. Here the legendary Halbarad is studying the lore he has brought in and here he receives reports from Rangers of North Downs and beyond, as well as planning and negotiating with allies. Hence the epic story-line is bound to this location at many times.

Access is granted from having the Epic quest Foreword: Fires in the North and a while after that. The study will be locked again shortly after having completed the related quests.
