Background Golodir has ventured into the depths of the Rift, and Corunir has mounted a desperate rescue of his mentor.
We have done well to make it this far, <playername>, but it seems that man of the evils that once dwelt here have retreated into the deepest depths of Nûrz Gâshu. It may be too much to hope for our passage to remain unnoticed.
What can have driven Golodir to make this dangerous journey? Has he lost all hope for the future? He has suffered so much, more than any one Man should, and yet he persevered. Has he at last given in to despair?
We must keep moving. Norbar is ahead. I fear what we may find there.
- Make your way to Norbar
An ancient fumerole, Torech Lach has arisen and blocks your path!
Naur -- two hits to bypass
another one -- three hits to bypass
Intermission, possible encounter fights
Look there, beyond the great pit of fire: it is Golodir! We have found him!
Let us make our way to the far side of Norbar, <playername>. There we will speak with Golodir and bring him from these perilous depths!
- Accompany Corunir to Golodir
He speaks of his daughter as if she still lived, <playername>... there is some great evil at work here.
What has raised this madness in the mind of my mentor, to cruelly seize upon the grief within his heat? And what can be done about it?
- Listen to Corunir
What has happened? Where... where am I?
Golodir looks around in amazement and confusion.
There was a ringing in my ears, as if I swam in deep water... but it is gone now. There was something else...- Golodir says, A shroud has lifted from my eyes...but which is the dream, and which is not?
- Golodir says, Lorniel was...she was alive! It was not too late to save her!
- Golodir says, Some part of me knew that Erebún had dominance over my mind...
- Golodir says, ...but even the small hope of seeing Lorniel again was hope enough. I did not fight him.
- Golodir says, I am ashamed. I am no Ranger.
- Corunir says, No, Golodir, you are wrong!
- Corunir says, You are the bravest Ranger I know! Why else would Erebún seek to master your mind?
- Corunir says, He sought to deprive us of you, and at a moment when we need you the most.
- Corunir says, The Dúnedain are gathering. We must ride to the aid of our lord Aragorn. We need you, Golodir.
- Golodir says, So the time has come at last.
- Golodir says, Perhaps it will do me some good to leave Angmar behind.
- Golodir says, These shadows have become too familiar. It will be best to leave them behind.
I shudder to think of what awaited Golodir beyond that door, <playername>. Erebún's dominance on the mind of my master was strong; what would Golodir have seen there had he remained under the Rogmul's power?
I care not to guess. I know only that it would not have been Lorniel, and perhaps that would have been enough to destroy Golodir forever.
Let us escape to the surface! Nûrz Gâshu is no place for us, or for our loved ones!Daily Quest Reward:
