Farewell to Evendim is Chapter 6 in Volume 3: Allies of the King, Book 1: Oath of the Rangers

Background
Daervunn has sent you to bring word of the Grey Company's mission to Calenglad and the Rangers of Evendim. Calenglad is at Tinnudir, the Ranger-camp on the shores of Lake Evendim.
I do not know whether he will wish to join the ranks of the Grey Company on their southward journey, but Calenglad should be told of the mission all the same. He feels a very strong bond to the lands around Lake Evendim, and to the ruins of Annúminas, and may not be able to bring himself to leave.

Bring him the message, in the event I misjudge his temperament. You will find him at Tinnudir, the Ranger-camp on the shores of Lake Evendim. If he does join the company, he will be a valuable ally on the southern road.

  • Talk to Calenglad at Tinnudir
Solo Quest
Calenglad

You say that Aragorn has need of the Dúnedain? I wondered if this day would come. We have safeguarded Annúminas and the lands around Lake Evendim for so long now that it seemed we would do so forever. To be told, thus, that it comes to an end, and we must travel into distant lands to the south...

Calenglad gazes for a moment out at the clear waters of Lake Evendim.

I will go with the Grey Company. That is my duty, and I will not shy away from it. But first I want to save some of the relics of Annúminas from being plundered. Angmarim still haunt the city, leaderless though they be, and in the past few weeks they have allied themselves with numerous tomb-robbers to strip the city of any relics they can find. Let us recover such relics fom one of the wards while still we can. Speak with me when you are ready to go.

  • Talk to Calenglad and travel with him to the Flooded Ward
Calenglad

We have suffered, <playername>. This section of the city suffered greatly in the battle against Amarthiel's forces, and robbers have come from the surrounding lands in order to plunder it of goods.

The tree-lined streets of this ward were quite beautiful before the fighting, deserted though they were. Now the walls are cracked and many of the buildings and tombs that are found here have been flooded, or are flooding.

Let us save what relics we may from the undeserving pockets of robbers, <playername>.

  • Clear the Flooded Ward of robbers with Calenglad
*Calenglad says, Let us clear this ward of robbers, <playername>. fight
  • Calenglad says, Too many relics have already been wrested from this once proud city. From my city!
  • Calenglad says, The coins of Angmar are wasted if this is the quality of wretches they buy!
  • Calenglad says, Still, if the Rangers leave for the south-lands, even the weak will seem mighty if unopposed.
  • Calenglad says, More robbers approach!

fight

  • Calenglad says, Let us keep moving. I am not content to leave robbers within this city.
  • Calenglad says, The fighting against Amarthiel's forces took a grave toll on this part of the city, <playername>.
  • Calenglad says, It did not always look thus.
  • Calenglad says, Up these steps. The hired hands of Angmar came from this way.

fight

  • Calenglad says, They are no match. Would that all allies of Angmar were so frail!
  • Calenglad says, Annúminas has stood empty for most of the age, but the Dúnedain have always watched over it.
  • Calenglad says, Can we really abandon it again? Is it wise to travel to the south-lands?
  • Calenglad says, Let us proceed, <playername>.
  • Calenglad says, Watch your step upon the stairs.
  • Calenglad says, Do you hear that? Voices from the tomb ahead. Ready yourself for battle!
fight
Calenglad

There are more robbers inside this tomb, <playername>. Clear them out and recover whatever relics they have already stolen. While you see to that, I will investigate some of these other buildings. I will meet up with you again once the tomb is clear of these villains.

  • Clear the tomb of robbers
Calenglad says, Good fortune within the crypt, <playername>. There are many robbers within.'

Examine the plunder

Calenglad and Gwindeth
  • Calenglad says, Very good, <playername>.
  • Calenglad says, We will return those relics to their proper places, but first I have other business here.
  • Calenglad says, Gwindeth!
  • Calenglad says, I know you are there! Gwindeth, come forth!
  • Gwindeth says, My curiosity demanded I show myself, Dúnadan. Nothing more.
  • Gwindeth says, I wish to know why <playername> has brought you to this place.
  • Calenglad says, Why has <playername> brought me? Gwindeth, it was my idea to....
  • Gwindeth says, It has been long since you came to my grotto, <playername>.
  • Gwindeth says, You were then the messenger of Aragorn son of Arathorn. You and he have dwelt in my thoughts ever since.
  • Calenglad says, That is why we have come!
  • Calenglad says, It has been made known to us that Aragorn has need of the Dúnedain.
  • Calenglad says, I will ride to him in Rohan. It is my duty.
  • Gwindeth says, There will be trials upon the road. It is a long way to that land.
  • Calenglad says, I care not, Gwindeth! All my concerns are for...those I leave behind.
  • Gwindeth says, Such concerns are a weakness in Man.
  • Calenglad says, Is that all you have to say to me?
  • Calenglad says, Have I not spent a lifetime....
  • Gwindeth says, Calenglad.
  • Gwindeth says, Short are the lives of Men, even those of the Dúnedain.
  • Gwindeth says, Even proud Elendil came in the end to death, and I mourned his passing.
  • Gwindeth says, But I mourned not for a season, nor for a single span of years.
  • Gwindeth says, My grief will last for many lifetimes.
  • Gwindeth says, And so it is I give my love to that which can outlast the lifetime of a single Man.
  • Gwindeth says, Men may die, Calenglad. Indeed, I see death upon your road.
  • Gwindeth says, But if through your actions Aragorn takes his throne, a kingdom shall return that should never have ended.
  • Gwindeth says, And is that not worth some measure of sorrow?
  • Calenglad says, I...I do not know, Gwindeth.
  • Gwindeth says, Farewell, Calenglad and <playername>. Nenuial will remember you both.
  • Calenglad says, I will return when Aragorn has regained his throne! I promise!
Calenglad

You must think me an old fool, <playername>. There is no protection I can offer Gwindeth that she cannot manager for herself. Still it is difficult to leave behind people and places we hold dear.

I did not want to leave without saying goodbye. I have now down so, but it does not make the leaving any easier.
Calenglad Let us leave this place, <playername>. The air has grown chill of a sudden, and I am ready to return to Tinnudir.
Calenglad

That is the way of it, <playername>. Some part of my heart will remain always within the walls of Annúminas, though duty carry me far away. It will be up to others, now, to safeguard the places...and the people...that I hold dear.

I will ride to Aragorn and let the future hold what it may...I will face it unblinking.
