'You and your allies have done well to dispatch Ferndúr, Player. He was as cruel to his allies as he was to his enemies, and my investigation of the crypts has confirmed what previously I only suspected. But now the story is clear to me.
'Long ago, the Men of Rhudaur waged battle against the other remnants of the North Kingdom. They worshipped Ferndúr, believing he could grant them the victory...and indeed, the plague he harnessed would be so great a weapon that Arthedain and Cardolan could not hope to stand against its threat.
'He gave to them the plague, the Red Cloud, but they could not control it. The Men of Rhudaur who lived and worshipped at the Lost Temple were laid low by the weapon they sought to wield. It was their undoing, but Ferndúr did not weep for them, though it cost him many servants. He merely laughed as the Red Cloud claimed its victims.
