In exchange for every tiny scrap of knowledge you possess regarding his plans, location and forces you will be allowed to return to Gondor with the understanding that you will remain there and never return. My apologies for pressing this issue but I have a duty to protect and nurture the refugees you and your countrymen have slaughtered and am perfectly willing to resort to less cleanly methods of interrogation" Valen then turns to Elestan "You must be the elf who has proved such a great ally to the people of this land, I would be extremely grateful if you allowed me to take possession of these criminals" "You know nothing of my presence here, even if you know my name by some strange devilry. I am here under the High King's authority. I am not under Axantur's command, nor do I intend to slaughter anyone who does not aim to kill us first. You understand just as little of the gravity of your demands. If I were to tell you all you desire, I would be a traitor to Gondor, and I would never be able to remain there never to return. Yet in my heart I know that to withhold this from you would also result in my death. For one so noble and benevolent as yourself, you have sentenced to death a man on false claims. I am not like Axantur, and the king knew that when he sent me here."

The clouds above seem to have thunder, though there is no evident rain above or nearby. "And yet here you stand, in Dunland with the aim to conquer these people. You are so blind you have come to see loyalty to a tyrant as a virtue. I am neither noble nor benevolent, any who think they are should know that they are fools like the rest of us. Your king sent you here, true, but he also sent Axantur. I am saddened by your lack of co-operation I had a job lined up on a farm in Black Vale where you could have spent your days pursuing something worthwhile."
