'Good, the soldiers have started a fire. We will take some food and some rest, and when the sun comes up once more we will continue on to the city. This is a pleasant enough place to wait out the evening... much nicer than the lands we have left behind us! It will be good to have a reprieve from the choking fumes of Mordor and the wastes that border that foul land.

'But do not be lulled into complacency by the pleasing scenery! Keep an eye on that Easterling. He has caused no trouble thus far, but I do not want him to take advantage of our kindness. His sort are deceptive and untrustworthy, and we must not forget it!'0/1

'These waggons travel more slowly than they did on the way to the Black Gate! Does Rathnor spare his horses the exertion of a reasonable pace? He does them no favours. Shadowfax is made the better by haste, and revels in the lands passing by at speed!

'Bah. These horses could do with some feed, and the evening will be rest enough, but I am impatient to reach Minas Tirith. The scrolls and tomes of the White City will be of use to me, but I need you there if we are to cover them sufficiently.'0/1

'I don't care what he says for himself. I don't trust him. That Easterling would stick us with a blade without a second thought; how many good men of Gondor have already died at his hands, or at the hands of his fellows?

'I will not sleep tonight. I will keep one eye open, and make sure this Ayorzén does not try anything. You should do the same!'0/1

'Do these men think I have no ears? I hear what they whisper behind their hands. It bothers me not. I can say the same of them, and much worse! They do not have even a portion of Ayorzén's courage, or his fine features.

'They are right to worry. If I wanted them dead, they would not see this sun come up in the morning. Lucky they are to have seen the end of the war. Do they know it is done? I do not fight for Sauron any longer.

'Did I say they were cowards, and ugly of face? Dim-witted they are also, to think the war still needs fighting. Join them at their camp-fire, if you wish. I am content to stay right here, and need neither the warmth of their fire nor their company.'0/1

'I will not repent of my words, Player, but... I will confess to you that I paid no heed to events beyond the borders of Gondor. That Sauron first conquered the lands to the East was known to me, but I did not consider what that must have meant to the people who lived there. I believed the Easterlings worshipped him as their Dark Lord, and no doubt many of them did, but the words of Ayorzén have planted seeds of doubt in my mind.

'I do not like him, and I still do not trust him. But perhaps his people... bah! I do not know, Player. Would we have succumbed to the domination of Sauron, as did the Easterlings? I did not believe so, but perhaps it is a more difficult question to answer than I thought it was.'0/1

'We cannot believe everything that Ayorzén says, Player, but I detect in his words some elements of truth. That his people pass down legends of the creatures that stalked their lands cannot be questioned, and I know the inspiration for the one he calls \qSweet Lara.\q

'She was called Lhaereth the Stained, a creature of fell reputation. Once she made her home in Mordor, and it seems Agarnaith has not forgotten her, for the touch of her corruption remains. Many were the hurts she perpetrated upon the lands of the Easterlings, and her foul touch was felt even in Gondor.

'But that is not a tale to be told in the dark, even by fireside. Lhaereth is gone with her master, though her presence can still be felt in Mordor today.'0/1
