Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'I fear many strong enemies gather all around us. I must scout the encampment west of here. Would you divert the eyes of the Enemy in the Slag-hills while I learn more about the encampment to the west? 'We shall meet here afterwards and I will share with you what knowledge I have gained.' Background Candúr has asked you to gauge the enemy presence in the Slag-hills before dealing with any other nearby threats. Objective 1 Defeat foes in the Slag-hills (0/20) Many foes can be found in and around the Slag-hills. You should defeat foes within the Slag-hills. Objective 2 Return to Candúr You should return to Candúr, who can be found at a small Ranger outpost hidden in the Slag-hills. Candúr 'The gap in the hills west of here is known as Lang Rhuven. The entire pass is now blockaded and controlled by the Easterlings. Many Easterlings gather there and continue to come through the pass to the west that eventually heads toward Rhún. 'I hope that you will be able to call upon your allies as they will be needed to thwart the encampment at Lang Rhuven.'
