The players bungle their way through the first two traps back in Gundabad. Witness the sheer idiocy of this episode as they attempt to find the chain, Angainor.
Back in Ilmarin, Celebrimbor and Fëanor present Feredir with the black, sister swords reforged into Angwedel, or “Iron of the Bound Star.” Mor-lomin experiences the true power of the Flame of Arnor using his staff.
