Quest:Chapter 13: The Plan Carried Out

	Quest: Chapter 13: The Plan Carried Out Description: Laerdan believes that the time for reclaiming Annúminas has passed. Now, all of your attention must turn to wresting the palantír from Amarthiel before she can learn the location of lost Narchuil. Category: Epic - Book X: The City of the Kings Scope: Epic Quest Level: 50 Golodir (NPC) 'You say you have come from Laerdan, and that he believes I may play a part in reclaiming the palantír that was taken from Carn Dûm? The seeing-stone is wholly evil! I see that now, and wish I had never been made to gaze into it. Mordirith has paid for his torment of me, but even that will never be enough to satisfy his debt! No act of vengeance will bring back my poor, lost Lorniel! 'Laerdan speaks the truth. Even as Mordirith brought me forth from the gates of Carn Dûm, the hateful images of the palantír still burned into my mind, I clutched in my hand the black cloth with which the seeing-stone was covered when not in use. The terrible events of that day had all but pushed it from my memory, but I remember it now. Hold the palantír only with this finely-woven cloth bag, else the stone will seek to show you such things that might bring you to despair. Do not touch the palantír without this bag! I do not wish for you to endure what I was made to endure! 'Give Laerdan my good wishes, but warn him not to underestimate our enemy. He is a good Elf and true, but in him alone have I recognized the terrible burden I have borne in the days since Lorniel was lost to me. Something gnaws at his heart, and I fear it will bring him to harm if he does not guard against it.' Chapter 12: A Means to Carry It Chapter 14: The Eye of Angmar
