Rattleleaf has agreed to tell you the story of what he saw by the pool beneath Kar Lak. Will hearing his tale help you to cleanse the Earth-kin pouch of its corruption?
'This was not long ago, by the counting of Ents, but you would feel otherwise. Years? Perhaps, yes, you would say years, but it feels much shorter to me.'0/1

'Hoom, oh yes, you wanted to hear the tale of the one who remained behind. I am sorry. For an Ent, every detail is important to convey, but you smaller races do not drink deeply of every flavour in the same way.'0/1

'The other creatures went away, but the first remained behind, and returned to the earth. Hoom, boom, toom.'
'I saw it all, but it is not the place of the Ents to interfere in the lives of other creatures. My own charge is to tend to the trees; I am not a shepherd of anything else. She who made the earth-kin would understand, hoom, boom, toom.'
Rattleleaf's eyes are deep pools, and you cannot be certain, but they seem to hold a deep sorrow.

'The earthborn and the earth-kin were given similar instructions, little ${RACE}. We may not be kindred, but we tend to the same concerns and our purposes are not opposed. The divide between us is a small one only.
'The divide between the earth-kin I witnessed was much wider, and it was caused by Angmar. Ah, that is a name malignant. Hrumty bum, hroomty boom! The seed-bag went to Angmar, but it did not stay there. They could not open it. Somehow it came to you, and it was sealed tight, and there was evil all around it.
'But now the pouch has been freed from the corruption that ensnared it. It is a gift from he who remained. Go now where you can best make use of his gift. I will stay here, and remember. Hroom, broom, toom!'0/1
