Malbeth the Seer

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

In the Misty Mountains, a wizened Gondorian weeps while he waits for the Day of Doom. Seek him there, even though it be a journey of many days, for he holds the key to thy destiny. You will know him by his bushy hair, the axe he carries, and his battle-scarred throat. Who can say what dread secrets he may reveal to you? But if you dare to learn his wisdom, be sure to ride upon an unshod eagle to the hill where he dwells, or he will merely mistrust you and you will not profit.

So essentially I'm going to meet the lumberjack version of Rod Stewart? I'm going to avoid those mountains like the plague.
