"Why?", asked Amarthi煤l, but none could answer. On the ground, the young Ranger found the hawk pendant of I芒rion and regarded it in his hand. "It matters not,", said the D煤nadan clutching the pendant and rising to his feet. "Thaurdir has taken my friend, so I will pursue him."
"We will aid you in this quest," spoke the heroes with one voice. "We cannot abandon I芒rion to the same fate as those village people."
