- Listen as Lord Angbor and Lady Terenis speak
Lady Terenis and Angbor can be found in the Great Hall of Tumladen.
Lord Angbor is now speaking with Lady Terenis about the battle at Pelargir. You should listen to their conversation.
- Lady Terenis says, "It is interesting that you have gone so far out of your way to visit Tumladen..."
- Angbor says, "Indeed it is, but I would not ignore the command of my captain... and my King."
- Angbor says, "You see, the man you once knew as Thorongil has returned to Gondor, and in his wake there is a force unlike any I have ever imagined."
- Lady Terenis says, "Thorongil! It cannot be! He was a man in my youth - would not he have grown old after so many years?"
- Angbor says, "His age is absent in his face, but it is he - Aragorn as he is now known. Only he could have won such a victory at Pelargir."
- Lady Terenis says, "I knew it. I knew victory had been won! You must tell me of it, Angbor!"
- Angbor says, "Aragorn has bidden me to tell you of this, that it may ease your mind and give you hope for the fate of the White City..."
- Angbor says, "...but you must swear an oath to never speak of these truths, just as <name> and I have."
- Lady Terenis says, "If Thorongil has bidden it, I shall obey. I swear upon the lives of my sons and my brother that I shall never speak of this again."
- Angbor says, "I shall hold you to your word, my Lady, for the fate of Gondor may rest on it. Very well..."
- Angbor says, "I was fighting at Linhir against the Corsairs and Southrons, and a wave of dread passed over all that battled."
- Angbor says, "I stood firm, unwilling to abandon the city to the Enemy, but the others... they fled. All of them - my men, the Southrons, and the Corsairs!"
- Angbor says, "And then I saw it... the banner of a King and the vast, terrifying force that followed him."
- Angbor says, "There were Men, yes, but the forms of the Dead walked amongst them and fought alongside their captain."
- Angbor says, "When he lifted his helmet, I knew his face at once. Thorongil had returned, and I swore myself to his service at once!"
- Angbor says, "Onward we fought into the East, until we reached Pelargir. The Corsairs held it entirely and would not have been moved if not for him!"
- Angbor says, "The Dead swept over the entire Corsair force and drove them into the Great River."
- Angbor says, "For that deed, he freed the Dead from their curse and now sails up-river to the White City on the Corsairs' empty ships."
- Angbor says, "The Enemy knows not of his plan, and they must not learn of it until it is too late!"
- Lady Terenis says, "This... is beyond belief, and yet, I hear truth in your voice."
- Lady Terenis says, "I shall not endanger my brother or Thorongil - I swear it!"
- Angbor says, "I trust that you will not, Terenis."
- Angbor says, "I cannot delay any longer, my Lady. I must return to my men before any more time is lost."
- Lady Terenis says, "Angbor..."
- Lady Terenis says, "Thank you."
- Angbor says, "Do not thank me yet..."
- Angbor says, "Remain here for a time, <name>. The Lady shall have need of you... of this I am certain."
