Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'It was a waste of time and effort -- and a life -- to harry the goblins. Saruman and Mordor both breed them like flies. There is a closer threat that will eat at us like a canker. 'My scouts tell me that half-blood brigands from the Stonedeans are attempting to infiltrate Stoke and sway the people against Reeve Fríthild. This threat must be put to end, or we will see the Dunlendings marching upon this town.' Background The Council of Stoke determined that Reeve Fríthild should take to the field and lead her people against their aggressors, but now it must choose what front to focus upon. Objective 1 Talk to Reeve Fríthild Reeve Fríthild must survive Reeve Fríthild is in the Mead Hall of Stoke. You should bring Captain Grimmar's recommendation to Reeve Fríthild. Fríthild: 'These brigands which Grimmar speaks of, are they the same that troubled Oserley and infiltrated Torsbury? Then, indeed, I agree with him. This is a treachery that can only harm the people of the Acres. 'I will gather our companions and ride out to meet these villains. Join us at our encampment to the south of town.' Objective 2 Use the campfire to summon Reeve Fríthild and her companions Reeve Fríthild must survive Reeve Frithild is at her encampment to the south of Stoke.

Objective 4 Talk to the Reeve of Stoke Reeve Fríthild must survive The Reeve of Stoke is in the Mead Hall. The Reeve instructed you to meet in Stoke to plan for the next attack.
