Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Ever since we left Moria the goblins and Orcs have been pouring out into the Dimrill Dale. It has become increasingly difficult to maintain our positions here. 'The Orcs have established three primary camps, all south-east of here: Uruk-gashan, Drû-garmadh, and Athmadhul. I care not which camps the Orcs come from, as long as you thin out a good number of them. 'When you have reduced their numbers sufficiently, return here to me.' Background The Orcs have flooded out of Moria and are quickly taking over the Dimrill Dale. Objective 1 Defeat Orcs (0/20) Orcs can be found at Uruk-gashan, Drû-garmadh, and Athmadhul, all south-east of Mekhem-bizru. Raskwith asked you to head into the Dimrill Dale and thin the ranks of the Orcs there. He also warned you to take a friend or two with you. Objective 2 Talk to Raskwith at Mekhem-bizru Raskwith is at Mekhem-bizru, north-west of the Orc-camps. Raskwith will be pleased to hear that the ranks of the Orcs have been thinned. Raskwith: 'The rabble has been thinned. This is good, for now we can strike against their leaders.'
