entry #10 → at_008 (if sc_003) ¶
You have defeated Azagoth! The Well of Souls is shut against him, and there is not a scholar in this tower who does not stand in your debt. Take this, then -- the key the expedition sent south with their last runner, for the coffers they were never able to open. But heed this warning: two of those coffers are bound by an old warding of the Numenoreans -- sealed against any thief's craft, so that only this key will ever turn them. And the key... something, something, in the way of magic... it will unlock but a single one before it crumbles away to nothing. So choose with care, for you may claim the treasure of only one of the two warded chests. You will find them still standing among the ruins.
reply #11 ¶
Aye, wasn't too tough. A piece of cake really.
entry #13 → at_007_key (if sc_annukey) ¶
Wait -- before you go. In all the noise of that day I never put this into your hand: the key the expedition sent south with their last runner, for the coffers they were never able to open. But heed this warning: two of those coffers are bound by an old warding of the Numenoreans -- sealed against any thief's craft, so that only this key will ever turn them. And the key... something, something, in the way of magic... it will unlock but a single one before it crumbles away to nothing. So choose with care, for you may claim the treasure of only one of the two warded chests. The chests are still standing among the ruins, if you have the stomach to go back for them.
reply #8 ¶
Thank you, I will be on my way.
entry #9 (if sc_007) ¶
You stand before us as a true testament of bravery. Your valiance will go far and be hailed throughout the land.
entry #12 (if sc_wos_busy) ¶
You have the way of it already, friend -- north up the Greenway to Annuminas, and the portal is at the Library, at the center of the ruined town. Azagoth is still down there, and every hour we spend talking is an hour he does not spend idle. Go, and bring me his head.
↩ reply #8 “Thank you, I will be on my way.”
entry #0 (if sc_wos_new) ¶
Good <quarterday> to you. You have the look of someone who climbed the tower steps on purpose -- most who reach this floor are lost. I am the scribe here; the High Wizard's people leave the northern dispatches to me, and lately every northern dispatch is bad.
reply #0 ¶
What has befallen that place to turn it so? What are these strange minions I hear of?
entry #1 ¶
The ruins of Annuminas were at one time the greatest libraries of the ancient realm of Arthedain. Arthedain like Annuminas was besieged by The Dark Lord Saurons chief lieutenant, The Witch King. The Witch King, a foul ringwraith decimated this land around 1,000 years ago.
reply #1 ¶
Well that's a long time ago. What about these minions that run amok now?
entry #2 ¶
The Witch King laid those lands barren long ago, and has since moved on to other business, I assume. Only recently Gondor sent an expedition north to Annuminas, to attempt to recover some of the ancient tomes of wisdom of its age. Every letter they have sent back has crossed this desk.
reply #2 ¶
I take it your people found some?
entry #3 ¶
Indeed. We discovered something that astounded us. The library was also a guarding something.
reply #3 ¶
Guarding something?
entry #4 ¶
Yes, the library contains within it a portal to a place known as The Well of Souls. The Well of Souls is the birthing place for all those people yet to come.
reply #4 ¶
Quite a place. Good thing Gondor discovered it first and the Witch King doesn't know it's there. Does he....
entry #5 ¶
*Wrings her hands and looks down at her feet.*
reply #5 ¶
Does he!
entry #6 ¶
Alas, he knows of the Well of Souls. One of our own expedition was a servant of Sauron. His treachery runs deep, and the last letters to reach me were written by people fighting for their lives. AZAGOTH has come.
reply #6 ¶
Azagoth, who in the world is he?
entry #7 ¶
A foul demon of the ancient world, long forgotten since the dawning of the Light. Azagoth has been awoken and sent to defile the well of Souls. He will try to breach the portal! If he does, he will feast upon the unborn souls and massive still birth will be the result. You must stop Azagoth before he can breach the portal!
reply #9 ¶
Woah there lady, there ain't no way I can best a Demon of that scale. Good luck to you, but I'm saving my skin.
reply #7 ¶
Alright, where is this portal?
entry #8 → at_007 ¶
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and my deepest thanks to you! Go north up the Greenway to Annuminas -- the portal is at the Library, at the center of the ruined town. Please hurry. And when it is done -- when you can set that creature's head down on this desk -- there is a thing the expedition sent south into my keeping that I will gladly put into your hands. It is not mine to give before then.
↩ reply #8 “Thank you, I will be on my way.”
entry #14 ¶
Forgive me, I am at my copying. Half of Gondor's memory crosses this desk, and none of it files itself.
