First Page only becomes active once you approach the Old Tome, click it, talk to the dorf, talk to the king - as far as I know. (First Page being the one near the entrance to Erebor, up on a shelf-layer)

Did Dark Delving: Cleared in shadow then went back lighting up rune stones, nada.

I've made progress translating the 9 pages of "gibberish". Will post the cypher key and what I've translated them into so far using this site(https://quipqiup.com/):

a=h a=b
b=g
c=h too sometimes
d=i
e=d
f
g=k
h=l
i=m
j=n
k=o
l=e
m
n=a
o=p
p
q=r
r=s & r=r sometimes
s=f
t=t
u=u
v=v
w=w
x
y=y
z=z


1. Znqnbanqns dr walql tal gly qlindjr = Zaragharaf is where the key remains

2. Ujelq bunqe. Yku wdhh jlle tk oqlrljt tclrl: Under guard. You will need to present these:

3. Edsslqljt rtkjl, enqg nje rtqkjb. = Different stone, dark and strong.

4. Rltqdlvle sqki tal ello odt, = Retrieved from the deep pit,

5. Ujelq bunqe ks tal bjnwdjbkjl. = Under guard of the gnawingone.

6. Bkhe, idjle nje skqble dj ikqdn. = Gold, mined and forged in moria.

7. Ujtdh yku akhe talrl dtlir, tal wny wdhh qlindj rcut. = Until you hold these items, the way will remain shut.

8. Jkjl aut tal hdjl ks Euqdj iny gjkw ks dt, aut = None but the line of Durin may know of it, but

9. Euqdjr skhg, alwnql want huqgr djrdel. = Durins folk, Beware what lurks inside.

I found 83 "pages" of Nameless in wiki: https://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Category:Nameless However I see reference above to 9 pages of gibberish and old chests. Where are old chests--I have no clue for them (I don't think)

Old tome is not there for me to click on, hence the issue... someone in World chat said they had to complete BB 6.1 and that opened it. Trying that now

Could that have something to do with Gun Ain/Avair ? I highly doubt it as she has nothing to do with dwarves and I don't think you can find her somewhere except during instances or special quests.

Looks like some people solved it.

Awesome, thank you!

Now we only have to figure out where is the deep pit from which to get a different stone!

Remember the Bat Cave? The area just in front of that :)

Off the top of my head, you have:
Rockbelly Pit in Thorin's Gate area
Pit of Iron in the Heathfells
The Tailing Pit in the Redhorn Lodes (my personal guess since other parts are in Moria)

Thanks! Honestly the slightly different spelling threw me off.

I checked Rockbelly Pit on the offchance, but it would make more sense if it were in Moria.

Must be in The Foundations of Stone. Also found an anvil there, that I don't remember from the old days 13.2S 96.4W

I'm fairly sure the anvil is part of a quest down there. May be a class quest. Saw that myself today and I'm 99% sure I've used it on one of my alts down there when I was in Moria.

It's not part of it. If it was I'd probably be done with the whole thing by now.

I'm stuck on the nameless too. What was that nameless woman from Angmar. Gun Ain?

And she was given a name - Mercy.

Skumfil? I ran over all that :/

You don't need to go and get these pieces of purple paper first do you?

Confirmed. You have to complete Black book 6.1 to get the secret quest. Once I completed 6.1 went to the bench and now the tome appears

Any chance of a dev/CM letting us know whether this quest is only available today? Or is it 'from' today?

Now we only have to figure out where is the deep pit from which to get a different stone![/QUOTE]


Potential Spoiler


Rumours reach my ears of enedwaith; Zudrugund

I won't spoil anything but i am puzzled.

Why the heck is the answer to ''Nameless'' found where it's found ?
Can anyone explain this ? XD

just making humor .......
if you dont like its ok......
btw when did you see me telling people what to do???
anyway if you still want to argue with me about my humor, this is not the place or the time!
send me messages or come find me in evernight !
kisses :P

Congratulations to the folks who have figured it out!

Just a quick note: You do have to have completed Introduction: Northern Mirkwood in order to run The Secret Stone.

Also, this event unlocked today, but is available from this point onwards. There had been a question about whether this was a today-only thing.
