'Lainedhel discovered the Little Folk while he was scouting the wilderness here in the north. He blames himself for Angmar discovering their location as they seem to have lived here for generations beneath everyone's notice, even the trolls.

'Since his discovery, the Uruk-warleaders have ordered continuous assaults against the village, and the hobbits there, resilient and proud, have taken up arms to defend their homes. Mayor Wat Mudbottom leads them and has asked for little help. He sent a single emissary, Pip Diggins, to Ost Ringdyr to entreat with Lainedhel and has received weapons and arms from us in return for food that he and his people grow and hunt.

'Please, if you can, visit Mayor Wat Mudbottom and assist him however you may.'
