'Gonediad is sure to be somewhere among the trees of Rivendell, Player. He is learned in the lore of Eregion, and may know something that can aid us in the defeat of Thorog.'1/1

'You have come with messages from the dwarves? I do remember the two of which you speak, for one of them seemed rather uncomfortable when I spoke to him of my studies of the Elves of Eregion. Sigrun, he was called? Yes, that is he. He seemed a stout fellow, but behind his beard I sensed the resentment of his people. Most of the dwarves I have met are more adept at hiding it; he was not.
'I suspect the gifting of MÃrdanant is the root of this resentment, though it should not be. If my studies of Eregion have taught me nothing else, they have taught me this: the gifts of the Gwaith-i-MÃrdain were always made true, and with good intent, though they were as prone to misuse and pretty words as were any good people that walked in those days.'1/1
