'Stamped across the front of this book is the title, 'Of Arthedain and its Settlements.' The book's cover is worn, as if many hands have held it. It opens easily to a dog-eared page, which reads:

'...In those days, north-eastern Arthedain was dominated by five great settlements, known commonly as The Five Towns. These were Henneth Rhun, south of Fornost; Duintham, astride an ancient stream; Carnoglin, in the northern hills; Ost Ardulin, in the lake-lands; and Dolindir, now called Esteldin.'

'Amongst the Rangers of the North Downs, we encourage our people to visit all five of the Towns and discover the locations of their Founding Stones. It is important to remember who we are....'
