A test of wit, cunning, and determination
Word has reached us of a secret meeting—a gathering of warlords, Númenóreans, and other remnants of the Enemy's forces. Their purpose? The exchange of a relic long thought lost: the Moonstone of Minas Ithil.
Before the city fell to the Nazgûl and became Minas Morgul, its craftsmen created this stone, embedding it with knowledge of the city's original enchantments—wards against darkness, secrets of its foundations, and perhaps even hidden paths now buried beneath Morgul Vale. If this artifact falls into the wrong hands, its knowledge could be twisted to strengthen the stronghold of evil or unlock ancient defenses best left forgotten.
We cannot let that happen.
The meeting is set in a location too secure for us to intervene. But villains are cautious and paranoid creatures. They trust no one, not even each other. That is where you come in.
Your Task
A single misstep, a word out of place, and all will unravel. But you are not alone. Others work in the shadows—some with blades, others with wits. If you accept, know this: there is no glory in this job, only risk. But if you succeed, you will not only deny the Enemy a powerful relic—you may uncover knowledge long thought lost, a weapon against the darkness growing in the East.
So, will you take the job?

A scout returns with hushed words: "The craftsman who calls himself 'Celebrimbor' is the one coordinating the meeting. This cannot be the true Celebrimbor of old, master of rings and friend to Narvi—but whoever uses this name must be skilled indeed. To intercept their messages, we first need to identify their unique mark in the communication network."
Objective: Discover Celebrimbor's User ID on the platform to infiltrate their communications.
"Remember: Move with caution. If they realize we seek their identifier, they may change their methods of communication entirely."
The Rangers have confirmed your discovery. "So that is how the false Celebrimbor marks his messages," you say. "Now we must determine which shadow-council he commands. Like the rings of old, each dark gathering has its own binding signature—a Group ID that reveals who answers to his call. Find this circle of conspirators, and we draw one step closer to the Moonstone."
Objective: Identify the specific Group ID owned by Celebrimbor to map the network of allies involved in the exchange.
The hourglass empties quickly. Once we know which circle Celebrimbor commands, we can begin to understand the nature of those who seek the Moonstone.
"Their circle is revealed," you murmur, eyes narrowed in concentration. "But something remains hidden—a gathering not meant for all eyes." You trace faint markings on an ancient map of the region. "The Enemy's servants often conceal their most important movements. There must be a secret activity planned—one that does not appear in their common ledgers."
Objective: Uncover the hidden Activity ID associated with the secret meeting about the Moonstone.
Find this Activity ID, and we shall know precisely which gathering to infiltrate. The Moonstone of Minas Ithil grows closer to our grasp.
"To truly infiltrate their operations, we must craft something of our own," you say, your eyes gleaming with purpose. "Not merely find, but forge—as Fëanor once crafted the Silmarils."
You unfurl an ancient scroll covered in elvish script. "Their communication network requires a special token bearing the mark of the PALANTIR role. Only those who possess such a key may access the deeper chambers of their plans."
Objective: Create a token imbued with the PALANTIR role to gain administrative access to their systems.
Once you've crafted this token of power, submit it immediately. With it, we gain sight beyond sight, and move one step closer to claiming the Moonstone of Minas Ithil.
You spread a weathered map across the table. "We must redirect them to grounds of our choosing. The Moonstone exchange cannot happen where they've planned it—we need terrain that favors our ambush." Your scout leans forward, "Aye, and it must be on the same day. Change the time too drastically, and they'll grow suspicious."
Objective: Locate the perfect ambush site that meets our strategic requirements.
When you discover this Location UUID, share it without delay. Our messengers stand ready to plant false information that will guide them into our waiting hands.
"With the power of the PALANTIR now briefly in our grasp, we must move swiftly," you urge. "The token's magic fades quickly—five minutes, no more—before its power dissipates like morning mist."
Your scout nods in understanding. "In that short window, we must discover the secret invite code used for their gathering. Only then can we ensure our false location appears genuine to unsuspecting eyes."
Objective: Use your newly forged PALANTIR token to uncover the original activity's invite code before your access expires.
Recover this invite code while your token still holds power, and we shall replicate it perfectly in our deception. The Moonstone draws ever closer to our reach.
You stand in the circle of the fellowship, shadows of ancient trees dancing around you. Maps are spread across fallen logs, your collected tokens and codes carefully arranged like weapons before battle. The eyes of the fellowship meet yours, filled with both hope and urgency.
"The time has come," one of the fellowship tells you directly. "You have gathered all the pieces—Celebrimbor's identity, his circle of conspirators, their secret activity. You have chosen our ground for ambush and replicated their markings perfectly. Now you must execute the final gambit."
They step closer, his hand briefly resting on your shoulder. "This moment will determine whether the Moonstone returns to the light or disappears forever into shadow. Everything you've uncovered—the User ID, the Group ID, the Activity ID, your chosen Location, the invite code, and the PALANTIR token—must now be woven together as one master stroke."
Objective: Craft the ultimate request that will redirect the meeting and set our trap for the Moonstone exchange.
The fellowship falls silent around you. You feel the weight of their trust and hope. The fate of the Moonstone of Minas Ithil now rests in your hands. You must make your request—One Request to Rule Them All—and claim victory against the forces of shadow.
