Visitor from the North  

'You have proven yourself to be a true friend to the Rohirrim, and I believe you are worthy of receiving some interesting information.

'As you know, I was away from camp, scouting among the hills to the north, when the trouble began. It was there that I encountered, concealed among a clearing of trees, allies unexpected.

'I think it would be best if you visited them for yourself. Go north-east, beyond Aster Hill, and seek out the clearing. Their presence in these lands leads me to believe that they may be in need of assistance, perhaps your abilities would be of use to them.'

Penda has spotted an unusual visitor to the Wailing Hills, north of Aster Hill.
