Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'I believe some dwarves have established a small outpost near the Deepscrave. We should travel there and tell them what we have learned about the Orcs at Tholmuzog.' Background The dwarf-outpost of Imrêkh-guthlu borders the heavily-fortified Orc stronghold of Deepscrave in Gundabad. Objective 1 Travel to Imrêkh-guthlu Imrêkh-guthlu can be found in the southern reaches of Máttugard, near Deepscrave. You should travel to Imrêkh-guthlu. Hetbrúda has spoken to the dwarves at Imrêkh-guthlu and now wishes to speak with you Objective 2 Talk to Hetbrúda at Imrêkh-guthlu Hetbrúda can be found at Imrêkh-guthlu in Máttugard. You should talk to Hetbrúda. Hetbrúda: 'I spoke with a dwarf here named Lóssi. I told him that we were adventuring together and he says he knows you. I gave him the basic information that we gathered from the Orc-orders. 'Perhaps you should speak with him further? We really should assist Lóssi and everyone at Imrêkh-guthlu. This outpost is important to securing Gundabad, after all!' Objective 3 Talk to Lóssi Lóssi can be found at Imrêkh-guthlu in Máttugard. You should talk to Lóssi. Lóssi: 'Greetings again, <name>. 'Since the War of Three Peaks, I have taken an oath to never send anyone into the way of harm unless I am there at their side. I lost too many scouts, good dwarves, in those battles. That is why I have come to the very edge of Máttugard with these scouts to claim Imrêkh-guthlu, the Shielded Citadel. It is a strategic place to watch over the Deepscrave and the route through Máttugard. 'I knew there were Orcs and trolls in Máttugrad, but I did not think they knew of our encampment. We shall focus on fortifying ourselves here s best we can.' Just then, a scout of Imrêkh-guthlu blows a sharp note of alarm on his battle-horn! 'Blast! There is no time to fortify our position! We must defend ourselves now!' Objective 4 Defend the stairs to Imrêkh-guthlu Defend the bridge to Imrêkh-guthlu Imrêkh-guthlu can be found in the southern reaches of Máttugard, near Deepscrave. You should defend Imrêkh-guthlu. Imrêkh-guthlu must be defended! Defend the stairs! Defended the stairs! Defend the bridge! Defended the bridge! Objective 5 Talk to Hetbrúda at Imrêkh-guthlu Hetbrúda can be found at Imrêkh-guthlu in Máttugard. You should talk to Hetbrúda. Hetbrúda: 'Is this what the War of Three Peaks was like? I did not arrive from Erebor until the battle was nearly won, you see. It seems there is plenty more conflict to be found inside Gundabad as well!'
