I've been hunting down this treasure - This unknown trinket of ancient Arnor, for half a decade now. I don't know what it is, but it's supposed to be something magnificent. Something Old. Something I feel like I need, not just want. I know where it is, this isn't a problem. But the ancient residents had a creative way of locking things up.

"Why Bother doing it this way?"
A large, elaborate door stands in my way. On its face is a white tree, with seven divots above in the shape of stars. It is believed that once I find all these stars, I will have access to whatever is inside, which is supposed to be something quite magnificent.

"I don't need any distractions."
I've been traveling with a woman named Nava, a child of the Eglain. She lacks any real interest in what I'm doing, simply sat idly by as I gathered the third key from the ruin of Tham Lorn. I shouldn't drag her further into this.

"We must part ways."
I didn't say goodbye. I don't think she really cares, she was only a spectator after all. Fate will probably cross our paths together again before too long, anyway. My journey will go on.

"You're needed back home."
The cry of a Falcon could be heard over the dead of Fornost.
"It's remarkable how he found me, even so far away from anything. But I guess that is what he is supposed to do."
Wrapped upon his leg was a simple note, "You're needed back home. Be in Esteldin by the start of the next season."
I can make it there in a few days..

"How Fast can the Falcon Fly?"
We'll see who gets back to Esteldin first.
