Malledhrim

Having finally escaped the Drownholt, the company rests at a Malledhrim camp, not far from Ost Galadh. Loegenel has fulfilled his task, leading them through the swamp, scouting and establishing a new path for supplies in behalf of the Malledhrim. Merenell has left little signs and markers on trees and bushes, noticeable by elven eyes only. The Golden Host has thus received aid...

Back to Echad Sirion, Celeblhair and Raolor prepare some baggage.

Escorting the wounded soldier of Torist's company.

Few have dared to enter the perilous paths around Dol Guldur, and even fewer have returned...

Immediately, Eliriael checks the wounds of the injured Malledhrim soldier.

In the meanwhile, the others stay vigilant.

Turumor has recently met Nelnardis, who is not unknown for some of the company, for they still remember the feasts and the time of merriment spent together in Imladris.

Shortly after their arrival upon Echad Sirion, the elves seek the counsel of a scout of the Malledhrim named Falasgon.

They discuss the further steps of their journey, and decide to reach Ost Galadh, an elven stronghold at the heart of Mirkwood.

As they look around within the Malledhrim camp, they notice the lack of its defences.

Neither palisade nor moat.
