Mithrandir has studied the artifact that Ayorzén stole from the vault of Durthang and believes that if it might be cleansed of its corruption it could be empowered with a force for Good.
'This brooch was clearly fashioned by Lossoth hands. In material and in style this brooch of bone began its journey near the Ice-bay. That is where you should bring it, for reminding it of its origin may help to cleanse the corruption that enveloped it within Mordor.
'Go to the city of Sûri-kylä, and find Lothrandir of the Dúnedain. He returned to Forochel after the fall of Sauron, and he may be able to help you cleanse the brooch of its evil.'0/1

'I heard that you found the bodies of two of the missing men, Player, but I am glad you were able to save Terho. He spoke of a sudden storm that overtook the warriors not far from Sûri-kylä. It happens from time to time, although I did not notice such a storm since my return. The cold can work a madness on even the well-prepared, however.
'While you searched for the missing Lossoth, I discovered the rightful owner of the brooch. A woman named Pinja, recently-widowed, told me that the brooch belonged to her slain husband, Oiva.'
You ask Lothrandir if he is not concerned that the corruption in the brooch might work some harm upon the widow. He seems to consider it for the first time.
'That... that is a good point, Player. I do not know why I did not think of that when I gave her the brooch. Now that I think on it, I confess that I cannot remember actually handing it to her at all! That is most strange. We had better go to see her at once, Player! I hope I have not done ill through my desire to do right!'0/1
