Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'The Orcs of Ak-ghru may be preparing to wage war on the Dunlendings -- though I doubt it, for they seem not to care about the Dunlendings moving through the Gravenwood -- but they might just as well be preparing to pour out of the Misty Mountains against Rohan. 'I would have you clear-cut these Orcs just as they lay waste to the forest around them...perhaps then they will understand that Rohan is still strong.' Background Orcs serving the White Hand are clear-cutting the forest and shipping the wood off to an unknown location. Objective 1 Defeat Orcs at Ak-ghru (10) Orcs can be found at Ak-ghru. Elfrith has asked you to defeat many of the clear-cutting Orcs. Objective 2 Talk to Elfrith Elfrith is hiding beyond the bounds of Ak-ghru. You should return to Elfrith with news of your success. Elfrith: 'Well done, <name>...the Orcs of Ak-ghru will know now that the Rohirrim are not to be trifled with.'
