GLAMREDHEL - If you read the books you will find out that they are the
distant cousins of the Elvandar elves who were thought to have been
wiped out eons before....

I just bought this game on a friends recommendation, but haven't started 
playing it. Do you really need to read the author's books in order to play
the game, or is this answer (and any other required clues) available with 
the game materials alone?

You don't need the books at ALL to play the game.  The game time frame is
set between two of the books.  The books are GREAT and give you a background
for the game...and a few comments(non-essential) made by characters during 
the game will only have meaning if you read the books.  But by NO MEANS
do you have to read the books to play the game...but it did give a new
perspective on the game when I read them.
I got bogged down in chapter 3 and wanted a change of pace so I checked the
books out of the library and finished all four in 4 weeks (which is really
quick for me).  When I reentered the game...everything just had a different
flavor...like I was reading a sequel to the novels.
Either way the game is great! Enjoy.

Earlier in the dungeon, if you had read the diary by a certain abbot, your
characters will pop up and comment on the situation.
In the diary is the answer to the Moredhel box, which hopefully you were smart
enough to write down when you read it the first time.  It is not coincidence
that that Moredhel box is the only one that is 10 characters long, having 8
possible letters in each combination.
