Letter Attached to an Eagle



Scrawled in haste on a scrap of paper, tied to the leg of a white eagle belonging to Elloen

Captain Himwen:

We waited for you at Gwingris and Echad Eregion, but have proceeded to Mirobel. We helped Elloen. He seems improved.

Reliable intel from the locals at Mirobel says there is a big, old Orc among those who occupy Barad Morlas, who carries the insignia of the team that assassinated both Celebrimbor and Elloen's parents. Will explain in full when I next see you.

Elloen wishes to strike down the big old Orc. I estimate that a very small strike team could infiltrate the ruin and accomplish this. We are too few in number to mount a frontal assault on the entire force occupying Barad Morlas, but in my judgment, an assassination could succeed.

Proceed with strike against Orc leader, or stay at Mirobel and await further orders? Lady Norliriel has indicated she would not oppose this mission if the Fountain wished to carry it out.

Humbly yours, 

Nandutiriel
