What brings you to Eriador, #?
May your journey be swift and your cloak warm, #.
By nightfall this land will be crawling with Orcs.
Be on your guard, #. There are many enemies in these parts.
Good day, #.
Keep a safe camp at night, and stay out of the shadows.
My kin has long guarded these lands from the dangers that lie to the North.
Be wary, #. Many new dangers have arisen these days.
Do not forget us, #.
Once, the northern kingdoms of Men were glorious and magnificent. But now we are all that remain.
Not all those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken.
Evil is at work in these lands.
Orcs in their numbers are coming down from the mountains, #. We must remain wary.
We have crossed many mountains and many rivers. Hopefully we can live here in peace, for a time.
Our homes, such as we have, are here in the North.
Lonely folk are we, Eriadorrim of the wild, hunters - but hunters ever of the servants of evil.
The servants of evil are found in many places.
Winter is coming soon. But we are ever the watchers in the North.
How did you come here?
I pray that you are a friend to the Eriadorrim.
None but friends of the Eriadorrim may pass into these lands.
There are few in the outside world who remember our names, #. The memory of our old kingdom is all but forgotten.
My forefathers were the kings of these lands, in its glory! But now the world is darkened, and we struggle here in this wilderness.
We Eriadorrim are a wary people. Be sure you do not cause any trouble.
Were it not for my people, these lone-lands would be crawling with Orcs, or worse.
If you would travel East, beware the mountains, #. Dark and evil things lurk within.
