SPOILERS OF COURSE. Really bittersweet storyline with Elladan and Elrohir but one thing that got me confused was the Redhorn Pass mission - MoL, would you be able to confirm whether the white ghostly figure (Cargul/Nazgul model) they saw was one of the Nazgul? At first I thought there will be more to it in next mission but no. So I guess maybe it was supposed to be a spirit of one of the Nazgul returning to Mordor to be "recloaked" and to get their new flying mount?
Or... something else???
PS: Normally the explanation I suggested would have been obvious, however the expanded lore of the game uses the same Nazgul model for different varieties of Carguls or even mobs like Dulgabeth and his knights... so not really THAT certain and obvious all things considered :P Then again, white color in case of the Nazgul does seem a bit odd here (not even many spirit mobs in the game that are actually white) so that's why not sure, I guess something pitch black is what I would have chosen or is something particular in the lore that motivated this decision?

I'm not the force behind this set of Further Adventures, but I did just speak with the designer who was, and they agreed with my assessment that it's more interesting to have you theorize about it than to give you a concrete answer, one way or another. Elladan and Elrohir don't know for certain, after all, and their states of mind about this particular location are definitely... fraught.

So we're going to leave it up to you!

Oh yes, that's a great angle too, maybe the dark shadow left after the Nazgul passage makes them traumatically fraught but the figure isn't really "there"
Either way, thanks, that definitely clears that up

Kudos to the designer and all!
I have a suggestion for the next one --- the passage a couple of paragraphs before the Elrohir and Elladan one:
"Some had gone north beyond the springs of the Hoarwell into the Ettenmoors; and others had gone west, and with the help of Aragorn and the Rangers had searched the lands far down the Greyflood, as far as Tharbad, where the old North Road crossed the river by a ruined town" (Tolkien FOTR 274).
"Further Adventures of Aragorn" with the other half of the Nazgul hunt? Wanted to get it out there!!! It would be pretty fun to take a look down the Greyflood that way - maybe even catch Aragorn............. actually in the ranger-home of Tornhad in the Angle? Lots of cool possibilities - the Elrohir and Elladan one is so awesome! Thanks!
Cheers!
