The Red Sky Darkens
"We were tasked with keeping a watch on Seregost. Things had been mostly quiet for a while, though I was beginning to grow tired of the colour red!"

Background

Rhadrog has a tale to tell about his departure from Agarnaith.

Objective 1

Rhadrog is telling you the tale of why he left Agarnaith with Faeron.

You should talk to Rhadrog to begin.

'And then, one day, the sky suddenly began to darken. I thought it might just be a passing cloud, but Faeron...'

Faeron shouts, "What in the name of the Valar? Rhadrog, look!"
Rhadrog says, "What is...? Oh..."

'Then the sky was filled with merrevail and bats as far as you could see!'

'It was as if the gates of Seregost burst open and all the inhabitants flooded out!'

'So Faeron and I headed to Seregost as fast as we could!'

'And when we finally entered...'

'We found the entire fortress emptied! Not a living soul inside! Well, save one.'

Faeron shouts, "Viznak?"
Viznak shouts, "Faeron and Rhadrog! How are my favorite subjects? It has been awhile since our last adventure. I thought you might have gone home! Haha!"
Faeron says, "Subjects? What do you mean?"
Viznak says, "Oh, well, since Blight Lady and her gross children up and flew the coop, I have declared myself KING OF AGARNAITH! That means you're my subjects now."
Faeron says, "I apologize Viznak, but we are about to leave as well. We must follow the merrevail and inform the others of their movement."
Viznak shouts, "That's KING Viznak! I forbid you from going, subjects. You are the best bodyguards in the kingdom!"

'Faeron made quite a sour face when Viznak said that. It still makes me laugh to remember it.' 'But I think I know what Viznak truly meant.'

Rhadrog says, "Apologies, Great King Viznak, but we are already bound to serve a different ruler, one has also just claimed his throne!"
Viznak says, "The new king of Gondor?"
Rhadrog says, "That's right. His name is Elessar."

'Viznak was silent for a moment. I wasn't sure what was going on in that tiny goblin brain.'

Viznak shouts, "Fine. Subjects, I give you permission to return to your Elessar. I will find my own brand new bodyguards who don't already have kings!"
Rhadrog says, "Farewell, King Viznak. I am glad you finally achieved your desires, my friend. But, I imagine it will be lonely being King of an empty kingdom."
Viznak says, "...Friend?..."

Objective 2
