Journal #4

The next morning, they travel to a city of elves which is called Rivendale. Rivendale is one of the last safe places to stay on their journey to the mountain. This town is at the feet of some mountains that are called the Misty Mountains, and these mountains are going to have to be passed by the group. The group is treated well and gets lots of rest here in Rivendale. They meet an elf named Elrond, and he is the Great Chief Elf. Elrond is very wise and tells them about some of their weapons, he also helps read the map with the Lonely Mountain on it. There are some words on it to help them find the secret entrance, but these words are only visible in a certain type of moonlight.
