Quest: Heading West
Fellowship
Description: Three Elves journeying towards the Grey Havens came to the Barrow-downs after sensing the source of great corruption welling within the Great Barrow. Their sojourn into Bree-land will not end until they help cleanse the land of an ancient corruption before passing into the West.

'The Age of the Elves is over, (your name), and now the time has come for us to pass into the West. But ere we come at last to the Grey Havens beyond the land of the halflings, we wish to do what little we can to help against the Shadow that is once again rising in the East.

'Long ago, the Witch-king of Angmar sent many fell spirits out of Angmar and Rhudaur to turn the Barrow-downs into a place of terror, and we sense that they are again stirring. We fear that more of these spirits have come with the intent of increasing their master's horde in Bree-land. We would have you enter the Great Barrow and send these spirits back to their master. The spirits will likely be found behind a door displaying a skull.

'Othrongroth, the Great Barrow, is a terrible dread place. You should not enter Othrongroth alone, for it is a dark and dangerous place. Take those you can trust.'
