Tordan is dead. Amrath is on the move. Something is happening, he saw some strange men talking to the brigands of Evendim and the brigands spoke about a job they have, with the Dourhands here in Ered Luin. I sent two parties out, one to Kheledul, to see what the Dourhands are up to and another to the Shire to watch over the roads. I can’t know where Amrath is but what he spoke of in his letter I dare not think.
He mentioned some men with red cloaks, instilling fear in the hearts of the brigands, they also spoke to the Dourhands and that made their fort busy. Something is happening and I don’t want to think that it’s coming straight out of Angmar. Firstly we must learn what it is, then we will act accordingly.
I hope that Amrath and I are wrong in our thoughts, if it’s Angmar I cannot send the Wanderers to their death, I rather go there alone… But one man can’t do anything in that wretched land. All I can do is prepare myself for combat once more while contacting the others at Amrath’s company, maybe they know something…
