'We are close to finding out the intentions of the invading Orcs, friend. We need to learn what is written upon these pages. While there are none currently herein Esteldin that can decipher these notes, there is a Ranger in the North Downs who can.

'Mincham has long studied the Enemy and their Black Speech. Would you carry the orders to him at his camp in the west? He is encamped near the Fields of Frnost at the south-west edge.

'Hurry, Player. Tiem is of the essence.'

Background

A great host of Orcs spilled through Ram Duath, driving the Men of the North Downs from their farms. Esteldin, home of the few remaining Dunedain of the North, was spared discovery. It is from there that the Rangers begin to plan their counter-offensive against the black tide of Angmar.
