* S C>Mouth of the Valley Nestled at the foot of the northern flank of Weathertop, and southeast of the Weather hills, lies this valley. The slope is quite gentle, as the valley leaves the shelter of the hills. The vegetation supported is varied and substantial compared to the plains north and east. Perhaps the drainage provided by the valley is the clue to this. A flowering plant grows here, its fern-like foliage dancing in the breeze.

You see some tracks of *a Man* leading south (done less than 1 hour ago). * S C>The Source of the Nen-i-Sul This is the point at which the waters of the hill emerge from the rock, forming a pool in this gully on the side of Weathertop. A few stunted poplars grow on the rocky sides of the gully where the waters splash. The water then flows over the limestone, following an ages-old watercourse down the slope and out into the endless plains of the En Eredoriath. Disturbingly, the pool show signs that someone has polluted the source, as a crimson-coloured foam floats on the edge. A fat carp swims here. Exits: North East South West Up. The water is frozen solid. *Mystical the Black Numenorean* has arrived from the south. *Mystical the Black Numenorean* leaves <<NORTH>>.

This place seems to act as a refuge for much of the wildlife in the area, due both to the shelter the valley gives, and to the spring on the southern slope. A stream trickles down into the valley floor. A shrub with maple-like leaves is growing here. *Mystical the Black Numenorean* is standing here (Shrouded).

Southern End of the Weather Hills Wandering among the Weather Hills is fairly easy, as long as there is a path to follow, but here that is not the case. The surrounding area is so lush with grass and undergrowth that even a poorly-maintained trail would be a relief to the weary traveller. *Mystical the Black Numenorean* is standing here (Shrouded). Exits: East South West. * S C>The Trail to Weathertop This is a narrow path which hugs the contour of the final hill of the chain of hills which are the Emyn Sul.The trail winds its way into the hills west from here, but cunningly it is disguised and also obscures any travellers. However on the further part of the trail south, climbers are not so fortunate. As the trail ascends the north-west slope of Weathertop, anyone becomes quite conspicuous, visible for miles around.
