Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Hail, <name>! Falasgon was right to send you to me. The Orcs of Dol Guldur mustering in the Mirk-eaves were well nigh destroyed, but a few survived and have holed up in the ruins of their encampments, attempting to regroup against us. 'One such encampment is Durbúrz-stazg, which lies just to the north of Echad Sirion. While the encampment was severely damaged in our first assault, it may still only be entered through two gateways. 'Go north and find the gateways into Durbúrz-stazg and determine which one is the least heavily guarded; it is upon that gate that we shall lean our assault.' Background The Elves of the Golden Host seek a way to cripple the Orcs of Durbúrz-stazg. Objective 1 Scout the southern gate of Durbúrz-stazg Scout the eastern gate of Durbúrz-stazg Durbúrz-stazg lies to the north of Echad Sirion. Aemeldir has asked you to scout the gates of Durbúrz-stazg to determine which is the least guarded. Aemeldir: 'Scout the gates of Durbúrz-stazg; we must determine the best way into the camp.' This gate is heavily guarded (southern gate) This gate is only lightly guarded (eastern gate) Objective 2 Talk to Aemeldir at Echad Sirion Aemeldir is at Echad Sirion, south of Durbúrz-stazg. You should return to Aemeldir with the results of your patrol. Aemeldir: 'You met resistance at both gates? Tell me more.'
