- Lothrandir says, "A great doom awaits you, either to rise above the height of all your fathers since the days of Elendil, or to fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin. Many years of trial lie before you."
- Lothrandir says, "You shall neither have wife, nor bind any woman to you in troth, until your time comes and you are found worthy of it."
- Lothrandir says, "And that is when he decided to accept his destiny and work towards reclaiming the throne of Gondor and Arnor."
- Arvedui says, "Truly? An heir of my line seeks to claim the throne and reunite the kingdoms?"
- Arvedui says, "Lothrandir, thou knowest not how much joy it brings to hear that."
- Lothrandir says, "Aye, our chieftain is the best hope for a bright future. For all Men, not just the Dúnedain. Oh, <name> has returned. What news have you?"

- You tell Lothrandir and Arvedui that you acquired the key but promised to destroy the Oath-stone that the Lossoth believe is inside Agoroth. Lothrandir looks at you curiously.
