'Two things must you accomplish to earn the war-steeds you seek. First, help in the defence of Langhold. Second, you must travel south to Harwick to learn how to safely and swiftly engage in combat from the back of a war-steed.'1/1
'My people do not fight from horseback, so this has not been an easy adjustment for me. Still would I rather fight on foot, and let my enemies charge toward me at their peril! But I understand we have a need for the speed of hooves if we are to find your friends, and for that I will put up with it. I hope I do not shame myself in front of our companions with my poor riding. Horn rides as if he were born in the saddle, and Corudan has the natural grace of his people.
'I feel like an aurochs up here.'1/1

'It is good of Aldor Harding to provide these war-steeds to us. When I was last in these lands, he was a man of short temper and did not believe the King was strong enough to protect Rohan from what threatened her. I cannot imagine he has changed, but it is good to see he is making Harwick ready for whatever may come. These steeds are of good breeding, and should serve us well. Nona has not lived her life among horses, but still she has done very well to pick it up in short order. War-steeds are different from the horses she may have had occasion to ride in the past, and she has adjusted well. Corudan, too, is already at home on the back of his steed. We will make good time over the plains.'1/1

'The horses of Rohan are renowned for their loyalty, strength, and speed, and it seems to my eye that the steeds they have given us are no exception.
'If the steeds of the others are satisfactory as well, one of the men here requested our aid. Speak to Enstan south-east of here, by the exit from Harwick.'1/1

'All of us must band together if we are to survive the encroaching dangers, but there are so few of us fighting men available. And now, Floodwend has sent urgent messages calling for our aid! Mansig and most of his men are still away, investigating the East Wall. If he were here, I know he would ride at once in defence of Floodwend, but he is not!
'Can you ride those new war-steeds of yours with any skill?'1/1
