'Guide your friend well, for I will not be responsible for any injuries she suffers while blindfolded. This is the law of the Golden Wood. No outsiders must see the secret trails of Lothlórien. It is out of respect for you, Player, that I permit even this.
'Follow me with care.'1/1
2 Speak toHaldir (Show dialog)
'All right, I think this is far enough. You may remove the blindfold now, and I will bring you to the Lady Galadriel.'1/1
3 Speak to(Show dialog)
'This land is a pretty one, as these Elves seem fond of saying, but this is what the daughter of Suvulch has to say: the hills of Nan Laeglin at sunset are more beautiful by far.
'I submitted to the binding of my eyes for your sake, Player, and to learn the secret behind your dream, but do not expect it again. I will leave this land with my sight unhindered, or these Elves will learn a sharp lesson at the point of Wadu's blade.
'Where is this Elf-queen?'1/1
4 Speak toGaladriel (Show dialog)
'I did not expect you in Lothlórien, Player. What need has driven you hither, when so many need your help elsewhere?'
You relate to Galadriel the troubling images you beheld while dreaming in Grimbold's camp, but your spirits fall when she betrays no sign of understanding.
'Your dreams are your own, Player. I had nothing to do with these images you saw.'1/1
5 Speak toGandalf (Show dialog)
'We have both been through a great deal since last we met, Player, and neither of us is the same person we then were. I do not have the time to tell you what befell me since we parted, but know this: the Quest remains. Your dream tells Galadriel more than she lets on, and it tells me more yet. Our friends face a grave danger along the Anduin. I hope it is not too late for them to avoid it.'
Gandalf's eyes seem to pierce you, and you shiver uncomfortably; there is something unfamiliar in the Wizard's bearing. He reminds you of Saruman.1/1
6 Speak toGandalf (Show dialog)
'I am sorry, Player. It is good to see you. There is just so much that needs to be done! The Eagles have proven able companions to me in these dark days. Gwaihir has agreed to bear me where next I need go, and his brother Landroval has been keeping his sharp eyes on the Anduin. Would that I could be everywhere!
'I fought against fire and shadow in the depths of Moria and on the peak, and when returned to this world I faced another foe from afar. These deeds have left me tired, and I will not speak of them now.
'We will speak again, Player, if our deeds prove fruitful. If they do not, well...'
Gandalf trails away. Suddenly, with a blaze in his eye and a tone of mirthful anger, he continues.
'Perhaps they would have proven enough had we not stood around talking about them for so long, my sentimental ${RACE}! We have our own tasks now... let us get to them!'1/1
7 Speak toGaladriel (Show dialog)
'I will send for Alfrohir to bring you down the river to Thinglad, Player. Gandalf believes a great evil harries our absent friends. Perhaps your presence on the banks of the Anduin can prevent it from discovering or endangering them.'1/1
