Dúneth: 'I knew in my heart that I would see you again. I knew it was you when I saw the smoke of battle rising from off the island. We rushed over as quickly as we could muster. I wanted to be there on the day that Cair Andros once again belonged to Gondor. I want to help restore the home of my dearly departed husband, Gilgir.'

Gilgír says, "What different languages does it hear as it flows beside those lands?"

Objective 6

  • Talk to Duinhir
'I see your friend Dúneth and the boy Tolwin. You have done much to improve their lives as they faced devastating hardship.
'I, too, should thank you for lifting my own shadow. I was wholly overcome with sorrow for the loss of my sons. I could not see my hands held out before me. What folly! Instead of honouring their sacrifice, I tarnished my name and theirs.
'I am not fool enough to think that Cair Andros will undo my mistakes. No, my friend, I shall need to take charge in the future. I shall make sure that those from Harad will pay for the crimes against Gondor and against my family.'
'Come, there is much to do in securing this island.'
