For reasons unknown, Aighrig of the Trév Dúvardain has ventured alone into the Angmarim encampment of Dûn Traikh. With the Angmarim bent upon hunting her down, the situation has grown dire.
Background
Lúkhag has led you to Dûn Traikh, presumably where she last saw Aighrig.
Objective 1
Lúkhag is waiting for you on the road leading to Dûn Traikh.
- Seeing that you've caught up, Lúkhag continues flying towards Dûn Traikh.
Objective 2
Lúkhag appears to know where she's going, but will need you to defend her.
- Aighrig says, "Lúkhag, you little pest, why did you lead <name> here?"
- Aighrig says, "No matter... it is too late now."
- Aighrig says, "Do you remember your old home, Lúkhag? I am sorry it has become a den of evil."
- Aighrig says, "Send this note to Rékkur. He will want to know what we have found. Now fly!"
- Aighrig says, "<name>, I expect you have questions."
Objective 3
Lúkhag has led you to Aighrig, who has come to Dûn Traikh alone.
- Aighrig: 'Have you seen that island in the middle of the lake, <name>? Grytholm, it is called, home to the bats of this region. I once considered it peaceful, but the Angmarim have taken over the cave on the island since, twisting bats to do their bidding. Gáfin must have discovered this before he died.
- 'I came here in search of Latharn, the one who wrote the report we found in Zarkul-sulûn. Join me if you wish, but I will continue with or without you.'
Objective 4
Aighrig is determined to find Latharn.
- Aighrig says, "There are more Angmarim ahead. Be ready!"
- Iron Crown Bat-keeper says, "You! You should have left and kept running!"
- Iron Crown Warrior says, "Ha! Saves us the trouble of hunting you down!"
- Iron Crown Priestess says, "How kind of you to present yourself to us. Latharn will be pleased!"
- Aighrig says, "I will make sure he is sorely disappointed."
- Iron Crown Sentinel says, "We will brook no traitors here!"
- Aighrig says, "Then I am glad to be a traitor."
- Aighrig says, "Hold for a moment, <name>."
Objective 5
Aighrig has stopped in front of the tower and has something to say.
- Aighrig: 'Stay your hand. Please, do not attack them unless they attack first. I hope it does not come to that, but...'
Objective 6
- Observe the confrontation
Aighrig seems intent on confronting the Angmarim at the tower's entrance.
She has asked you not to attack them unless it's in self-defence.
- Aighrig says, "Come out, Latharn! I know you are not alone."
- Latharn says, "My daughter, as perceptive as ever."
- Aighrig says, "Why do you continue to help the Angmarim? The war is over. We have lost."
- Latharn says, "The war is not over simply because some king deemed it so."
- Latharn says, "But you are not here to debate such petty matters. Why did you come?"
- Aighrig says, "To save you. You are fighting a losing battle."
- Latharn says, "No. I am ensuring that our people will prevail."
- Aighrig says, "Can you not see that the Angmarim are driving us to ruin?"
- Latharn says, "You have changed, Aighrig."
- Latharn says, "My daughter has chosen her side. Kill her, and her friend as well."
- Aighrig says, "<name>! To me!"
Objective 7
The conversation between Latharn and Aighrig has not ended peacefully.
- Latharn says, "You were... ever the rebel. I am only sorry that I did not kill you sooner."
- Latharn says, "Hundreds of deaths I envisioned for myself... and none at the hands of my own daughter."
- Latharn says, "You will be the death of our people."
- Aighrig says, "I will not. Goodbye, father."
- Aighrig says, "It is done."
Objective 8
Latharn has been defeated.
You should check on Aighrig.
- Aighrig: 'The Angmarim had my father in their clutches from the start.... I should have known that he would believe them to the bitter end. May the earth reclaim his bones and find some use for him.
- 'I will not apologize for coming here on my own, as it was my burden to bear. Still, I appreciate your help; I did not think you would trust me after learning of my past.
- 'Let me know when you are ready to depart. Rékkur ought to know the truth behind Gáfin's death.'
- 'Back to Annâk-khurfu, then. I have had enough of this place.'
