You have infiltrated a meeting of supporters of the Heirs of Castamir, and should learn what you can of their operation and their plans to undermine the rule of King Elessar.
'Maethon vouches for you, but you had better be on your finest behaviour while you are with us, Player. If you put a single toe out of line you will wish you hadn't.

'You found the right place! I am delighted for you to join us, my friend. To have another member of Elessar's court among our number seems almost too great a gift to be believed, but I will not turn it down!

'Is it true you are close to the King? That will be useful indeed.'
You tell him that Maethon mentioned another member of Elessar's court is a supporter of the Heirs of Castamir. He studies you carefully.
'Aye. But you have yet to earn my trust, and until you do I will speak no more of those who should remain secret, for now. It should bring you joy to hear that the King is not as safe as he believes himself to be, and we may soon have the victory we seek.'(Show dialog)
'Do not think you are one of us just because Maethon invited you to this meeting, Player. You have not yet proven yourself to me.
'I spoke with a gossipmonger in town who says that King Elessar has already departed Minas Tirith, and he travels this way! Perhaps you will soon have a chance to prove yourself to me after all.'(Show dialog)

'It is said that when Balakhôr the Scourge met his end, it was at the hands of Dead Men that he met it. They say it was the King Elessar who commanded the killing blow, but others stood nearby: an Elf... a dwarf... a hero who bore the name Player.
'I had no love for Balakhôr, Player. Nakási and I preyed upon the ships he sent forth from Umbar before he came to power, but afterward, when we did not cease our roguery, he took one hand from each of us. They were ours to keep, and so we did, though we replaced them with these made of metal.'
Tumúldo raises his left hand, and it shines in the dim light of the cellar.
'The hands he cut from us were preserved, and now they decorate the cabin of our ship, each forever clasping the other, a sign of our love... and also of our desire for vengeance. Your part in the death of Balakhôr has robbed us of that vengeance.'0/1

'I don't understand how this could have happened! We heard no word from the Heirs of Castamir who remained in Umbar, but I believed they would send messages as soon as they could. From where sprang this Kindred of the Coins, and how could they so easily overthrow our folk? The Heirs of Castamir were so established in the city... I cannot understand it....
'What has become of Saklaphêl, the widow of Balakhôr, or of Balakhâd his son? What are we now to do?'0/1

'We have friends across the kingdom, hidden in plain sight. If we can rally the people of Gondor to our side....
'Aye, it could be done, Player. The folk of Gondor do not wish to be ruled by Elessar and his Elf-queen; nor do they wish to be made subservient to Umbar! If the Kindred of the Coins thinks to challenge us for the rule of Gondor once our plans bear fruit and King Elessar is slain, perhaps they will find we are not so easily conquered. I have to believe this is the way it will be.'0/1

Tumúldo Fierce-water lies on the cold stone floor in a pool of his own blood, a Gondorian blade buried in his back. His wife Nakási kneels by him, her eyes burning with fury and with unshed tears.0/1
