Refuge Upon Talan Haldir  

'So you have come through the dark halls of Moria to sunny Nanduhirion, have you? Mae govannen, Name. The eaves of Lorien are near, and if you gain the trust of my people you shall find refuge beyond the Nimrodel. These are very dangerous times in which we live.

'Word of your ventures has reached my ears. I bid you what welcome I can as you emerge from the darkness, and I say this to you also: take care! Many evil things have stirred from the dark, and this dale is not safe.

'Upon the Nimrodel is a talan belonging to Haldir, a protector of the eaves of Laurelindorenan. He will offer you refuge, The way is hidden! Seek him beyond the Echad Andestel, and wet your feet in the Nimrodel, near the bridge that is broken. South of that bridge and upon the shore is a great mallorn-tree. Upon that three you shall find Haldir. He will trust you if he knows you have come with my leave.'

Meredhrandir at Mekhem-bizru is concerned for your well-being with all the Orcs of Moria so stirred in the Dimrill Dale. He has recommended that you seek refuge in Lorien and appeal to the good will of Haldir at his talan, which is hidden.
