'We should follow these whispers of Balakhôr to Arnach. Perhaps there we will learn from where they began. Arnach is to the south-west of here, in Lossarnach.'0/1

2 Speak toBaranor (Show dialog)
'Welcome, my friend, to Arnach! What brings you hither?'
You explain that you seek word of Corsair activity along the coast of Lossarnach, and that some folk of Gondor believe Balakhôr and the Heirs of Castamir still threaten the King's peace. Baranor rubs his chin.
'I do not doubt that some Corsairs fled into the wild when the fighting turned against them, but their numbers must be quite small, shouldn't they? I will ask around the town and see what I can learn. Perhaps while I do, you will take care of some of the foes that do endanger Arnach? There may be some few brigands, as ever, but I speak mainly of wild threats: wolves, avanc, and any beasts that grow bold when unopposed.'0/1

4 Speak toBaranor (Show dialog)
'You upheld your side of the bargain? I have done the same. I asked around Arnach, and... well, it seems that a few of the people here have heard that Balakhôr the Scourge survived the fighting at Pelargir and escaped into the wilderness. Some folk believe they saw him personally, though from a distance.
'He supposedly made camp to the south of Arnach, in view of the river. If you wish to learn the truth of it, I suggest you there begin your search.'0/1

'This camp-site might have belonged to anyone. Just because it bears the signs of being a Corsair camp does not mean it was made by Balakhôr. Anyone could have come ashore here.
'Do I need to remind you that we saw him die aboard the Night-jewel? He could not escape from the Dead, and did not. It beggars belief, Player!'0/1
8 Speak toLegolas (Show dialog)
'Gimli is right: this camp might have been made by anyone. Balakhôr did not leave the deck of the Night-jewel alive.
'But this too can be true, Player: it may not matter.'0/1
