'I'm not sure yet how that second gear fits into this contraption, but that is not your concern. I need you to get out there and find that third gear.

'The third missing gear was placed in a chest hidden in Emyn Hoedh, the old barrows of the Edain in Haudh Lin, north-east of Gondamon. I'm not sure exactly where it is, but it's said to be in the ruins of an ancient crypt.

'Be wary, though! I've heard rumour that barrow-wights roam those lands.'
