Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'These Orcs know nothing of retreat - they will throw themselves at our feet until finally we wither and fall. 'To the west, Fastred employs a far more terrifying tactic - he makes of our enemies' heads grim standards that litter the ground as reminders to his foes that he is not to be crossed. 'Whether the Orcs pay this any heed, I know not. However, I know that Snowbourn stands still, and Walstow enters its fleeting throes. I would have us employ this strategy in Walstow... as gruesome as it is. 'Travel to the Orc camps of Ash Durub and Ufum-mau to the west and south-west of Walstow - take a trophy of each Orc's head, and steal their spears. Upon your return, we will mount them about town.' Background Winsig wants you to aid her in creating grim standards for Walstow. At Fastred's command, Orc heads shall only occupy one location in the Sutcrofts - the tip of a pike. Objective 1 Behead Orcs in the south camp (0/8) Collect spears from Orcs in Ash Durub or Ufum-mau (0/8) Orcs and their heads can be found in the camps of Ufum-mau and Ash Durub, located to the south-west and west of Walstow, respectively. Objective 2 Talk to Winsig Winsig can be found in the Mead Hall of Walstow. Winsig: 'While such a vicious show of force is not normally my favoured choice, if we are to survive, I feel nothing can be lost by imitating Fastred. 'His thirst for destruction has made an impression on the Orcs and if they could feel such a thing as fear when approaching Snowbourn, I am certain they would. 'I will have these mounted about the town. Thank you for honouring such a barbaric task with your aid.'
