# [[Rolanda Minsool]] Rolanda is a cartographer and historian from [[Bree]] who set off for [[Fornost]] three months ago. [[Gandalf]] asked us to find her and return her to Bree: [[Quest - Find Rolanda Minsoon]]. She has long red hair with a shock of white at her Widow's Peak. She had a walking stick, dagger, and a leatherbound journal-- but we found those in [[Fornost]] in [[003_20221026 Rhys the Orc Slayer]], without her. According to a [[003_20221026 Rhys the Orc Slayer#^955fcb|group of farmers]] we encountered, Rolanda *was* in their settlement before their animals went mad and started killing each other. The madness meant something to Rolanda but they're not sure what she figured out from it. She couldn't stop it either. ## Rolanda's madness From the journal we found of hers in [[Fornost]], she went mad herself: > I am knowledge. I am lore. Why bother to record my findings? To share that which I discern and know? That which I spent my life seeking? To be shared with the lesser minds of my age? The less intelligent, the less deserving? No longer will I record what I discover. I finally know now what I seek. That I did not know was the goal of my search. I now understand. It is the key to the unlocking of the fire of [[Anor]]. Anor is the source of all light and creation. I will unlock the single doom of Man. And that is death. No longer will we be chained by mortality. We will be free and immortal. I go now to the North. To unlock Anor. To free man from his only doom. I am a god. ^cdcd3a
