Shield-brother  

'Listen well to my tale of woe. Long ago, my shield-brother and I swore to defend Arthedain against the Witch-realm of Angmar. But when battle came, we thought of our families and did not join the vanguard. The tide of war turned against us, and we were slain in the rout that followed. As oath-breakers, our shades lingered and fell under the sway of evil wights.

'My wight-master was recently destroyed by...by a Power, and your finding of the ring has helped me further. But to be truly free of the torments of this shadow-realm, I must see my shield-brother freed of his bonds as well.

'Please, take this ring and search the mounds in the north of the Barrow-downs. I believe I can use the ring to guide thee.'

A Shade found wandering in the Barrow-downs -- meaning no ill, it seems -- felt the pull of its brother and struggled to appease whatever force has returned to awaken them.

Objective 1

Defeat wights near the place where the brothers placed the Cardolan treasure (0/6)

Dead rise near a south facing wall among burial mounds of Men.

The shade, in its cryptic way, asked for assistance in ridding the place where he died of the fell barrow-wights

Objective 2

Return to the Wandering Shade

The Wandering Shade can be hard to find, but basically makes a cicuit around The Dead Spire.
