'There it lies, Player: the Stone of Wyrgende. Do you know the tale?'

Éomer seems surprised to hear that you have been told the tale of Wyrgende the Crone and King Fengel, but then realization dawns.

'Ah, of course you would know it. How could you travel with a bard such as Horn and not know it? It is a popular tale, though it be grim and unpleasant. I expect it is true in all lands: the people enjoy stories that seem to explain their poor lot or continued hardship.'1/1

'It was thought for many years that Wyrgende's Curse had already expired. My uncle's father, Thengel, lived in Gondor, and the lords of Rohan called a witan and begged him to return to the Mark and take the throne. They said he was virtuous enough and would be such a good king that his reign was certain to end the curse; indeed, Thengel lived long, and his son Théoden now has many years behind him.

'It seems now, with the death of Prince Théodred, that the Curse merely slumbered. Perhaps it did not affect Thengel or my uncle because they were already born, or because they were not in the Riddermark when it was set. None but Wyrgende can know, and she is long-dead.

'The Curse that did not affect Thengel did affect his daughters, and few of their sons survived to reach adulthood.' (Show dialog)

'The deeds of the past often have grave effects on the present, Player. Curses have power, and with the force of belief behind them they can become even more powerful. How else can the misfortune of Fengel's line be explained? And how will knowledge of the Curse affect Éomer's actions now?

'The people of Rohan need him to be strong. He cannot cower in fear of Wyrgende's memory, or his people will suffer.' (Show dialog)

'I had been so certain the Curse was broken, as had been all of Rohan. What must it be like to labour 'neath the shadow of such a thing, and never know when it will reveal its fangs?

'If Éomer out of fear refuses to fight the evils that face our land, then King Fengel's greed will have struck the death-blow for Rohan.' (Show dialog)

'The Orcs have unwittingly helped me, Player. During the battle, I had no thought at all for Wyrgende or her Curse.

'I have made up my mind. I will not allow the Curse of Wyrgende to control my actions. I am my own man, Éomund's son, and I do not fear the memory of ill deeds done or vengeance sought! I will fight for the people of Rohan until I no longer can do so, and even then I will keep fighting!

'I have given Wyrgende the time I thought she was due, and now I put the Stone behind me and will think of it no more! Onward, to Snowbourn! We are needed!' (Show dialog)
