Bestowal Dialogue
'Your timing is impeccable, <name>. I have just received new orders from Prince Durin.'
Scout-master Ausma produces a missive from her pocket and hands it to you.
'Or rather, I should say that you have, my friend!'
Background
Concerned by the news that Prince Ingór has sent a significant Zhélruka expedition into Câr Bronach, Prince Durin hopes to enlsit you to discover their purpose and aid in their efforts against the remnants of the Iron Crown.
Objective 1
Orders from Prince Durin can be found in your inventory.
Scout-master Ausma has given you new orders from Prince Durin. You should read the orders.
My trusted friend,
Although we have made inroads against many of our foes in Mount Gundabad, I am told that Prince Ingór of the Zhélruka has chosen to divide his forces and send an expedition into Câr Bronach. It is true that the Iron Crown has proven a more determined foe than we had anticipated, but I question Ingór's itnentions in ordering so many of his warriors upon this errand. To eliminate the Angmarim and their wicked allies would be a great boon, but there are foes enough within the mountain. I fear Prince Ingór's actions may put the rest of the Gabil'akkâ at greater risk. Indeed, if his expedition were to fail, any advantage we fought to gain against Gorgar and Hrímil would surely be lost. Worse yet, if I were to confront Prince Ingór directly on this matter, it could threaten the alliance between the Longbeards and Zhélruka.
And so, I hereby order you to join the Zhélruka in their campaign. Learn what you can of Prince Ingór's purpose in sending his warriors to Câr Bronach and aid them in hindering the Iron Crown. When that is done, let us hope the tide of this war remains in our favour!

- 'As you may or may not know, there is an eastern gate which leads out of Mount Gundabad. I am told it was long ago claimed by the realm of Angmar, and that whatever its true name once was was lost. It is called the Witch-gate, and it is the swiftest path into Câr Bronach.
