(Character) had traveled across the plains all day. The land seemed to be unendingly flat, with nothing to relieve the sense of boredom. There seemed to be good soil with lots of available water. Up ahead he saw the confluence of two rivers pouring into a small lake in the area known as the Gladden Fields. As he neared the lake, he noticed large stretches of reeds upon which rested many of the flowers called "Iris". Camp was set up near the lake to take advantage of the nearness of the water. All was peaceful when a wizened old man hobbled into camp and greeted him. The elderly man offered to lead him back to his hut in order to show a scroll that held the Secret of the Golden Band.

Location: only in the Gladden Fields (swamp hex in the Anduin). While I've never heard of anything useful coming of this encounter, it's suspected that the appropriate response may give the character the opportunity to learn a spell from a lost list. (Bobbins)
GO to the man's hut to see the scroll: Ambush, but a rather weak one. Most characters can vanquish their opponents with little or no damage. (Bobbins)
