No. That's not the one that I'm looking for.

Still two days to go till SpM is obliged to give us another hint, but, if nobody objects, would he mind revealing second letter now? I'm clueless, I should confess...

I would prefer to give a further clue, if that's OK. So here it is:

Said to help sometimes in gaining entry.

10 days already? How time flies.

OK, the next letter is 'O'.

Here's all the clues for ease of reference:

NO

Bound to the emblem of the horse
Hailed the black ones
Discovered the chronicler
Said to help sometimes in gaining entry

Another clue: the last one's cryptic.

Any takers now?

Well, I'm not giving another letter since that would give it away. And that, in a sense, is another clue.

Nob?

You are most correct, arcticstorm. Well done.

The chronicler in question was Merry, whom Nob found after shouting at the black figures stooping over him. The other clues you got spot on.

The thread is yours ...
