To complete this deed perform the following objective(s)

• Find Anazârmekhem ^{[13.4S, 108.1W]}

Anazârmekhem stands as the gatehouse to the Flaming Deeps. While its purpose long ago was mainly a matter of governance, its purpose now is as a rallying point for the dwarf-expedition as it reaches into the lowest caverns of Moria.

• Find The Burning Stair ^{[15.8S, 110.6W]}

• Find The Crossroads of Ash ^{[15.8S, 109.6W]}

• Find Hurmulkezer ^{[17.0S, 107.1W]}

Hurmulkezer once stood as the palace of an ancient dwarf-lord of Moria, though his name has now been lost from the pages of history. Now it stands as a bastion of corruption and evil from which Orc-captains oversee the labours of their minions and slaves in the hot forges of the Flaming Deeps.

• Find Hudnul-meden ^{[16.8S, 109.6W]}

The gates of Hudnul-meden are said to have sealed away some of the most well-protected vaults of the dwarves in ancient days, but the old texts are not clear on whether they were meant to keep thieves and intruders out, or something else in ...
