Book 6, Chapter 2: The Ghost in the Gap  

'I will not force you to leave, my friend. You have been too valuable an ally! But head this warning! Elf-magic or not this dream of yours is an omen of dangerous times ahead. It must steer your steps, but weather it steers them to good or ill I cannot say. This I know, however: it is not your fate to stand with us again. Can you understand any f what you saw within the fog of sleep?'

You tell Grimbold that you do not know of someone to the dream seemed to refer: the girl Nora, who called herself 'Wadu's Ghost' for a time and swore vengeance on Dunlendings in the pay of Saruman.

'You must begin by finding this girl, then. If she sought to slay Dunlendings, she is certain to be somewhere within the Gap of Rohan; they gather in Wulf's Cleft, and the Gap teems with them. Go to Wilfrith in Forthbrond, to the west and see if he has seen any sign of this girl.'
