'For my part, I have never really liked horses very much. They are so large and frightening, always stamping around with their heavy hooves and snapping at unwary hobbits with their strong teeth! I was almost bitten by a horse when I was in my tweens, you know, and I have never managed to forgive the things.
'Do you think you could nip down to the eastern gate of Stangard and ask Sabert if we might enjoy a walking-tour of the kingdom of Rohan? It is not a very large place, is it? If our feet will do just fine, then I say that's what we should do, and leave the horses quite out of it!'1/1

'Is the kingdom of Rohan suitable for experiencing on foot? You are asking if it is a good idea to walk from one end of Rohan to the other, instead of riding a horse?'
Sabert erupts into raucous laughter, and though it is a somewhat impolite response, you must admit that you rather expected it. Bingo is not going to like this.1/1

'What did Sabert have to say about walking across Rohan, Player? Is the kingdom small enough for that to be reasonable?'
You tell Bingo that Sabert really thinks it is better to ride atop a horse in Rohan.
'He would say that, though. The Rohirrim certainly do love their horses. I do not feel the need to climb aboard one of those fearsome beasts. I say we walk! What do you think, Player? Is this our adventure or Sabert's? I say we can use the exercise! Speak to me when you are ready to begin our walk into Rohan!'1/1
'So this is Rohan, eh? The people here seem very tense, as if they were waiting for something bad to happen. I do not know if I blame them, Player! This is quite a nice little town, but it seems surrounded on all sides by danger, and there are not enough guards here to protect it!
'Well, they are in luck, for three brave adventurers have strolled into Langhold: you, me, and Willem Whisker, of course! A brief chat with some of the children has given me all the information we need to help improve the state of things in this town. If we can defeat salamanders, brigands, and Easterlings throughout the Wold, I think we will have made things a good deal safer for the people of Langhold. Let's do it, my friend!'1/1

'This is terrible, Player! We have just arrived in Rohan, and already I see that evil has truly come to this kingdom! This may once have been a nice town, but now it is abandoned, a burned shell!'
You tell Bingo that the folk of Langhold fled to the town of Harwick, and he nods.
'I am glad some of the people escaped, but if they are anything like the hobbits I have known, they will want to return to their own hearths as soon as they can. We should make the surrounding area as safe for them as we can! Let us fight the various foes that lurk nearby: salamanders, brigands, and Easterlings! Then we will be doing our part to help the people of Langhold one day return to their own homes!'1/1

'That was good work, Player! The people of Langhold still seem to be worried, but we have made things better in the Wold, even if they are not sure it is safe to be cheery!'
Bingo takes a deep breath, seemingly readying himself for something.
'You know, Player, you might have been right about the horse thing. Sabert and Egwylf, too. Rohan is a fair bit larger than I expected, and maybe I should see about getting a horse as well. I spoke with a man here and he said there are horses available to purchase at the town of Harwick, to the south. I suppose we should go there and see.'1/1

'That was good work, Player! Langhold is in no condition for its people to return, and will not be for some time, but perhaps our efforts in the Wold will help its people when they do come back.'

'Here we are, here we are. We can see about horses for sale very soon, Player. Very soon! If we must. Must we really?'
After you complete this quest, Bert Bartleby will arrive near the stable-master at Harwick, in East Rohan.
