"Ráthwald is right, my friend. Without a truly magnificent weapon forged in the ways of Old, we cannot hope to so much as score the flesh of that ancient creature. But relics of the past sometimes turn up when least expected. My friends and I found a cache of ancient weapons not long after the Iron Garrison came to this place. Select one of these weapons, and it may be that your choice will help us clear the way into Moria of that terrible creature. Take too these Settings, for I know of one who can help you understand their uses, and those of other relics as well."

Khazad-dum is open!
