Bestowal

'During my imprisonment, Name, to pass the time, I recited to myself the stories Broin and I listened to during our childhood: tales of Khazad-dum, mostly, and of the Quest of the Dragon upon which our grandfathers adventured.

'Through the long hours of my captivity, I came to remember details from those stories I had long since forgotten. I remembered how Gandalf brought to Thorin Oakenshield the key and map given him by Thorin's father Thrain...who was then a captive in the dungeons of the Necromancer, in the dungeons of Dol Guldur.

'How came Gandalf into those dungeons? Why, Name, he must have found a secret way in!'

Background

Bori has remembered Gandalf's mention, long ago, of a secret way into the foundations of Dol Guldur, and believes if it might be found it could be used to the benefit of the Golden Host.

Objectives

  • Talk to Sigileth at Nothgar in Thangulhad
  • Sigileth is in Nothgar, the tower located within the camp of Thangulhad.

    Bori has remembered something that may be useful: a secret way into Dol Guldur used by Gandolf long ago.

    Objective 2

  • Find and walk the secret passage into the foundations of Dol Guldur
  • The mysterious secret way into the foundations of Dol Guldur that Gandalf must have used is surely located somewhere in the rocky spire upon which the fortress stands.

  • Ningloril is in Thangulhad.

    You have discovered the secret way used by Mithrandir to enter Dol Guldur long ago and should report now to Ningloril.
