'Welcome, Player, and well met. I understand that Gandalf the Grey has sent you to me. That is well, for I do indeed have knowledge of our allies and enemies of old... or rather, those who have come for counsel do.
'If I were you, I would speak with Glorfindel by the stream outside my home. He has friends among the Great Eagles and has received dire news.
'As well, speak with the Elf-prince Legolas and Boromir, Captain-General of Gondor, at the guest houses. They also bear news of the outside world.'1/1
2.1) Speak toGlorfindel (Show dialog)
'Ah, Player, ${RACE} of great repute. I assume that Master Elrond has told you of my troubles, or at least somewhat of them?
'I have received word from Gwaihir the Windlord, a king of the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains. Stone-giants have stolen an egg from the eyries of the Great Eagles and purpose to eat it.
'Gwaihir is greatly distressed, but cannot take the matter upon himself. He has asked for aid, and perhaps you may be able to give it. Travel to Iobar's Peak and rescue the Eagles' egg.'1/1
2.2) Speak toLegolas (Show dialog)
'Player, you are a ${CLASS} of some note. Perhaps you may be of service to my father.
'I was sent here with dire news which I will only speak of in Master Elrond's Council, but there is another matter of import that needs to be addressed. My father is concerned by the increased stirrings of the Great Spiders. Our scouts tracked the origin to the Scuttledells in Southern Mirkwood, but we have heard nothing from them since.
'Will you journey to the Scuttledells with your allies and discover what has happened to them? Swift travel shall be provided to you.'1/1
2.3) Speak toBoromir (Show dialog)
'Ho there, good ${RACE}. As I travelled here from Gondor in the south, I was troubled by goblins from the Misty Mountains.
'From their words and through rumours I learned from the scattered Men abroad, I deem that a new Great Goblin has arisen within their midst. I thought this might be of concern to the Master of Rivendell, for Imladris lies within the shadows of the mountains.
'Would that I could take upon myself the glorious adventure of bringing these goblins' caves down around their ears, but my errand is of vastly greater import. Perhaps you might undertake this adventure?'1/1

'You have done well by the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, Player, and are deserving of great song... but dire news has come to me, and I must now think upon the correct course of action.
'I will summon you again when I have come to a decision. Thank you.'0/1

6 Speak toElrond (Show dialog)
'Player, Lord Glóin of the Lonely Mountain spoke of an emissary of the Dark Lord who came seeking news of Bilbo. They turned him away, but the emissary threatened them with war.
'You should speak with Gimli, Glóin's son, here in Rivendell to learn more of their concerns.'0/1
7 Speak toGimli (Show dialog)
'Ah, my friend, Master Elrond speaks true. An emissary came and spoke terrifying words to King Dáin. We did not reveal any information that would be of use to him, and he warned us of war.
'We have received no word of enemies moving upon our realms, but if you find yourself travelling in the North, would you please determine what if any threats are apparent there?'0/1
'I have seen that your aid has been of great benefit to the Men of Dale and the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain... however, there has been a great cost.
'Gandalf arrived not long ago... tell him what you have learned, both from your adventures abroad and from our words together. Tell him aid shall not come from the North, for either the Free Kindreds or the Dark Lord....'0/1
13 Speak toGandalf (Show dialog)
'So, the Elves of Mirkwood are besieged by spiders and the Dead? We cannot hope for aid from them then. The goblins of Goblin-town are busy squabbling among themselves, so I foresee them being of little threat. The Great Eagles have ever been my friends, and I expect that friendship shall not wane.
'I grieve that the folk of Brand and Dáin shall not come to the aid of Gondor, but at least there is some small comfort in knowing that whatever foes march upon them shall not be brought to bear against the South Kingdom.
