'We should travel to Forlaw to speak with Reeve Gárwig. Let us learn what he plans to do about Núrzum and the suffering people of Wildermore.'1/1
1 Speak to(Show dialog)
Gárwig squints at you distrustfully.
'Harding sent men to help me, and they were unable to provide any assistance at all! They got themselves eaten, or crushed, or lost in the snow, and worse than that: the survivors crawled back to my villages, bringing their rumbling bellies and broken limbs with them! They are of no use to anyone!
'Where are my warriors? Where are the strong men of Rohan? Dead, or gone, or weakened by the cold and by hunger. All that remain in my hall are orphans and widows. They call me the Lord of Widows and Orphans, did you know that? Me, Gárwig, son of Céolgar, Reeve of Wildermore!
'You cannot face Núrzum, but if you are willing to help there is no shortage of foes seeking to destroy my people! The uruk-hai have secretly been bringing supplies near to Forlaw, along the shores of the Isingmere. Defeat them and burn the barrels of supplies they have brought with them. Do this and you may forestall the end, for a time. Only for a time.'1/1

'You did as I asked? Good, though it be one small drop in a sea of need. I do not know how the uruk-hai made it all the way to the lakeside uncontested, but the loss of some supplies may keep them from staying for as long.
'While you were gone the city shook and rumbled, and my people cowered, thinking Núrzum had come. The city has been spared his wrath thus far, but I say they were right to cower! How long will Forlaw remain out of his sight? When Núrzum does come, how can we hope to defend ourselves? We cannot!
'What sort of a life is this? Is it not cruel to ask my people to live this way, in the shadow of a fear we cannot banish? This is a sorry lot to have drawn, stranger. I thank you for facing the uruk-hai, but if you take my advice you will leave Wildermore behind. Once Núrzum turns his attention to us, we will be gone. It may not happen today, or tomorrow, but I think we will all pass out of life before this unnatural winter does.'1/1

'It is as they said in Scylfig: Reeve Gárwig has given up hope. We will find no plan for facing Núrzum here, Player.
'But first we must reassure the people of Forlaw. We must tell them that their Reeve is still trying to get them through this, that he loves them and believes they can still survive. Winter will pass, Núrzum will fall, and the people of Wildermore will plant new crops and reap a bountiful harvest in days to come. I would not have believed Gárwig had such eloquence in him.'
A smile twitches the corner of his mouth.
'You did not get that impression from our visit with the Reeve? Curious. I am sure he said something like that. Be sure to comfort any scared villagers you see. It seems to me that Gárwig does not often leave his hall; this day, that helps us all.'1/1

'How did you do? I trust you did not let the truth interfere with your errand, Player?'
Horn laughs, but it is a short and humourless laugh.
'We may have given the people false hope, Player, but if we can do something about Núrzum it will not be a lasting injustice. Things have gone poorly for the people of Forlaw already, but it does not take much thought to see that they could go even worse.'1/1
