Lore

During the Plans of the Golden Host instance you have the chance to ask him some questions.

Tell me about yourself

'I learned the ways of the forest from our kin in the northern reaches of Mirkwood, and that place holds little fear for me. What the Enemy has wrought in the southern reaches of the forest fills me rather with anger, and with sadness for the life that once sheltered there.

'I have planned a route through the forest that will permit us to bring Mazog almost to the very gates of Dol Guldur without being seen.'

What can we expect in Mirkwood

'The forest is dark and dense, and its paths are not to be lightly trod, but you need not fear overmuch, for I am familiar with its ways. I will bring you safely to the doors of Dol Guldur by secret ways the Enemy knows not.

'Once we are there, however, we will rely upon the other Elves of the company; my skill is in tracking, and not in battle. If the exchange does not go well, it may come to fighting.'

What do we know about Dol Guldur?

'In the far reaches of southern Mirkwood, the fortress of Dol Guldur stands atop a rocky height. It was the stronghold of the Enemy for a time, and still his evil festers there.

'I walked there once, long ago. The memory is grim, and were it not for my companion on that journey I would have despaired. If all goes well, we will not need to tread where I once did, and for that I am grateful.'
