It is this very word "Laurëondo" which we seek, Holly. Castle Maladil is also called "Goldstone," for its exterior walls are built of golden granite, looking something like that yonder patch of sandy ground.

Master Elrond believes the deed to the Castle remains hidden within its walls, the location of this document known only to Lord Maladil. And since from the end of the Second Age until the present day, no heir has ever come forth to lay a claim on the accursed building, ownership has been left open to any living soul daring enough to brave entrance of the Castle, to ... survive once within, and to successfully find and bear away the deed.

It is my wish to retrieve the deed to Laurëondo on behalf of the Elves of the White Council, as a way of lifting the curse of Maladil Castle without the need of rending the building to pieces. For if the terms of the curse are that Maladil remain in the castle for all eternity, then the castle must cease to exist. To that end, Elrond suggests that the castle be transformed into a house of healing.

But woe to us all, should the deed to Goldstone fall into the wrong hands!
