I'm not sure of the order that things happened in, as they all happened so fast...
When I awoke, I had breakfast in the inn before stepping out to explore the ruins that I saw in the valley on my way in. I was greeted by a distressed halfling girl asking if I could check on a man across the road. Amdir was his name. With nothing pressing I agreed, and was pulled into a series of events that I am still trying to wrap my head around.
As it turned out, the man... Amdir, was one of the legendary rangers from the north. There was another with him, Aragorn. What luck to meet not one, but two Northern Ranger! I remember stories of them from when I was young, heard from Ithilien rangers that would venture through my village from time to time. Stories about how they were a strange and magical bunch.
However, the village that I thought would be my peaceful retreat for a few days ended up being anything but. The village constable was betrayed by his men and the village was besieged by evil men... and creatures.... Creatures I believe to be from Mordor... They resembled the nazgul from the stories my father told... but they were different. They took Amdir, corrupted him. I don't know how.
I did what I could to help fight them off, and in the end they were driven away. But the cost was great. The constable was slain by his own men and the village was razed.
I have been asked to help look for Amdir.... I owe him that much...
