"Daethaur. Daethaur is my name. Indeed, I have not heard of this Skaikrish. When I was last in the Blue Mountains, the High Elves and Rangers were hunting the Orcs from the mountains. They must have missed something if the mountains are infested once again."
"I left the mountains because I had lived there long enough. It must have been thousands of years since I entered it."
"So what brought you there", he pondered that point for a moment. He had already given away his age. He couldn't claim to be a Man. An Elf was doubtable. He might as well tell them. "I was one of those Ainur who foolishly fell into the service of Melkor before the Ages of the Sun. I fled from his service shortly before the Great Battle, and lived in the Blue Mountains since then."
"There are many and great passages there, far below even the ruins of Nogrod and Belegost. The Orcs do not even know they exist. These you could possibly use to reach any part of the mountains with great speed."
