It is a bad time for the free people. The forces of the Dark Lord, Sauron, are swarming over the world. Armies of orcs, trolls, and evil men and beasts are strengthening the shadow that will soon envelop the earth.
For the moment, the land of the west is protected by the Misty Mountains, which Sauron is not yet ready to cross. But you, the Main Hall, and the free lands and people of the west are not safe! The men of the south, who have been fighting bravely against the Dark Lord, cannot hold out for long against Sauron and his growing power.
But there is hope. At great risk, a wizard and his ranger companion smuggled information out of Sauron's fortress which could be of great use to the men in the south. They could not deliver the information right away, so they waited at the Main Hall. When they finally set out, all paths through the Misty Mountains were blocked due to winter storms. Realizing that Sauron would stop them if they tried to take any normal paths, the two men decided to take a path that the Dark Lord would never think of watching because it is more terrible than his army: the Mines of Moria.
The wizard and ranger were never heard from again. However, the wizard left a copy of the information with the bartender at the Main Hall, telling him that if he was not heard from to give it to a tough and trustworthy adventurer to take it to the men of the south. In case you haven't figured it out yet, the bartender is sending you!
