Gwathrenost, the Witch-king's Citadel
"Once the seat of the Witch-king of Angmar, the dread citadel of Gwathrenost casts a long shadow upon the city of Carn Dûm. All but abandoned after the Steward of Angmar was deposed, the remanants of the Iron Crown have crept forth from the shadows, seeking to master a lost artifact of the Witch-king and reclaim dominion over the realm."

Objective 1

Gurkrak keeps watch on Gwathrenost and brutally dispatches those foolish or daring enough to enter the Witch-king's citadel unbidden.

Krahjarn Warrior says, "Feel the wrath of the Krahjarn!"
Krahjarn Archer says, "Oh, you'll pay for that!"
Krahjarn Archer says, "You will not stop the Krahjarn!"
Krahjarn Spear-tosser says, "Oh, you'll pay for that!"
Krahjarn Archer says, "Hold steady, worms!"
Krahjarn Fighter says, "Don't let 'em past!"
Krahjarn Fighter says, "I'll gnaw on your bones!"
Krahjarn Fighter says, "No!"
Krahjarn Overseer says, "No more dawdling, worms!"
Krahjarn Warrior says, "I'll split your skull for that!"
Krahjarn Overseer says, "Get back in the fight, you cur!"
Gurkrak says, "Enough!"
Gurkrak says, "You wish to enter the hallowed citadel? Come, then!"
Gurkrak says, "You shall learn soon enough of your folly, little ones."
Gurkrak says, "Your wills shall break like twigs underfoot, and you will beg to serve the Iron Crown."
Gurkrak says, "None may oppose the Witch-queen of Angmar!"
Gurkrak says, "I will bury you beneath Gwathrenost!"
Gurkrak says, "Unworthy!"
Gurkrak says, "You amuse me, little ones. Let us even the odds!"
Gurkrak says, "The Iron Crown shall crush you to dust!"
Gurkrak says, "Heal me, sluggards, or I'll have your heads!"
Gurkrak says, "You shame the Krahjarn!"
Gurkrak says, "You call yourselves Krahjarn?! Get out here, you maggots!"
Gurkrak says, "You irritate me, <class>."
Gurkrak says, "You are unworthy of Tauressar's blessing!"
Gurkrak says, "I... failed you... my queen..."

Objective 2

One of the last remnants of the reign of the Steward of Angmar, Castellan Obáshurz tends Gwathrenost and dutifully serves his masters: High Priestess Ásachal and High Chieftain Claghórd.

Krahjarn Overseer says, "Get 'em, lads!"
Krahjarn Overseer says, "They must've gotten Gurkrak. It's up to us now, boys!"
Krahjarn Fighter says, "No!"
Iron Crown Soldier says, "It seems we have rats in the castle..."
By some unseen hand, the doors slam behind you!
A chill washes over you as fell spirits descend to hinder your ascent of Gwathrenost!
You feel a chill as more spirits descend from higher in Gwathrenost!
With the Iron Crown Sorcerer's defeat, the fell spirits vanish and a path deeper into Gwathrenost opens!
Castellan Obáshurz says, "I bid you welcome, my esteemed guests."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "You must forgive the condition of these halls, for they have languished in my absence."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "It is no matter. All will be set to rights soon enough."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "Alas, you have arrived earlier than my master anticipated."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "It seems I shall have to entertain you myself!"
Castellan Obáshurz says, "Do not think to fly from your fears!"
Castellan Obáshurz says, "Attendants! Your services are needed!"
Castellan Obáshurz says, "Come closer, <name>."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "Those who wander are wont to become lost."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "Your duties remain unfinished, my servants. You are bound to me!"
Castellan Obáshurz says, "I must call upon you again, my attendants!"
Castellan Obáshurz says, "Perhaps a tale will sate your curiosity, <name>."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "My guests demand more and I would not deny them!"
Castellan Obáshurz says, "These halls have not forgotten you, <name>."
Castellan Obáshurz says, "I tire of these hollow pleasantries. Perhaps a more formal welcome is in order!"
Castellan Obáshurz says, "How... rude..."

The shard of Tauressar shimmers as its defences fall!
