'It seems to me the only way to solve the mystery of these wights is to uncover more lore. Unfortunately, the only place such lore can be found hereabouts is in the Barrow-downs itself!
'I hate to ask this of you, but would you return to the Barrow-downs and search for this lore? Such things go far beyond an old man's idle interests. It may well aid Bree!
'Here, take this pick-axe. This time, you will have to dig for the lore. The axe's tip has been blunted, so your digging shouldn't cause any damage to any fragments you uncover. Try digging at the entrances to the barrows of Taradan, Orron and Ringdor. I believe those barrows lie in the north of the Barrow-downs.'
Newbold Leafcutter wants to solve the mystery of why there are wights in the Barrow-downs and has asked you to return there.
Objective 1
Collect 3 lore fragments
The barrows of Taradan, Orron and Ringdor lie in the north Barrow-downs.
Newbold has told you that you should dig at the entrances to the barrows of Taradan, Orron and Ringdor. To help in your digging, he has given you a blunted pickaxe to use. This tool will help prevent any damage the digging may cause to any lore fragments you uncover.
Objective 2
Bring the lore fragments to Newbold Leafcutter
'I'm relived you have returned! I was worried I'd sent you to your death! Now, let me look at the lore fragments you have brought back.
'These parchments are troubling. They appear to be written by Men of Cardolan. They speak of the kingdom falling into ruin, and those that remained falling victim to a great Plague. But that is all. This doesn't answer, though, why such fell creatures came to the Barrows. I fear these fragments have only yielded more questions and few answers!'
