Suddenly you find yourself in a lovely forest, surrounded by elves. Before you is a high-elf lady of great power. Thus did she speak:

'I see that the wizard has chosen well; a strong warrior of good heart.

Know you that the ring, should you find it, is the rightful property of the dwarf hight Thror, who is of the Lonely Mountain far to the north.

And we of the forest Lothlorien would see the Ring of Power recovered, for we do not like the threat of such falling into evil hands.

I have chosen two stout companions for the quest. The first is the good dwarf Gorim, nephew of Thror, who has come to Lothlorien for the quest.' A dwarf bows low, his beard touching the ground. 'Be not deceived by his short stature,' the lady continued, 'the berserker comes upon him in battle, and none may stand in his way.'

'The second companion will be the wood-elf Galahir.' A tall elf with a long bow slung across his shoulder bows to you. 'Know that he is a master bowman; there is none better in Middle-earth.'
