Following the Battle of the Mustering Tree, a scout from the Dunlending Boar-clan resistance sent word to Léofward that she had news regarding the Old Woman of the Mountain.
'You should speak with Huwela on the road to Tâl Methedras.'1/1
1 Speak toHuwela (Show dialog)
'It is well that you have come, Duvodiad. It is known among my people that the Old Woman of the Mountain is called such because she dwells upon the heights of the mountain you call Methedras, but we have never known the way to her abode...she always came down among us.
'I have discovered a path leading from the road to Tâl Methedras up the mountainside. There is an evil air about the path, so I will not go there, but I believe this may well be the path your friend Saeradan seeks.
'Return to Saeradan and thank him for the kindness he has shown the People of the Boar and tell him of the path. Tell him also that none have travelled it recently.'1/1

'Huwela found the path, but none have travelled it recently? I wonder, then, what has become of Gwyllion since her defeat at the Slade of Shadows.
'I think she must do one of two things: seek refuge with Saruman or find her way back to her own abode to recoup her strength.
'I think if she appears at Orthanc in defeat, she will not find herself welcomed.'1/1
