Walkthrough & Notes

Complete the quest Untoward Aggression for Orchalwë. Complete the quest Monuments of Angmar for Orchalwë. Complete the quest Drowning at the Docks for Orchalwë. Objective 2 warns: Advancing this quest will no longer allow you to summon Orchalwë and will cancel any quests bestowed by him that are currently underway. If you were given the quest in Annúminas, then wandered off – or logged out and then got distracted – it may be confusing what to do to start this quest chain. Go back to Annúminas, and use the Smoke Signal in your inventory, which makes Orchalwë appear with a quest ring before you. He then bestows the two quests. This may be tricky if, for example, you were simply exploring and reached the quest-giver without enough reputation with Annúminas. You must be a Friend of Annúminas to travel there even if you have discovered the route. Normally this is not a problem if you've been doing the quest chain from Tinnudir and on, but otherwise if you simply blundered into the quest it presents a complication. NOTE: This is the latter part of a quest chain (The Twilight Estates) that begins in Tinnudir and rewards a class specific armour set which can be bartered for, and partially rewarded by quest chains. It must be completed before Orchalwë appears in Annúminas. Orchalwë becomes your companion during this quest chain. He is a great body-guard also for any other quests in Annúminas and Tyl Annûn. See more info in the Quest Chain box.

Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'There is much work to do here in order to reclaim the city -- more than we may be able to do -- but we shall still try. At the least, we may preserve some of what is here. 'Orchalwë has come with us to Annúminas. There is much anger within him. I do not trust his judgement to let him go out into the city on his own. I fear he may place himself into a situation he cannot survive. 'I ask you to accompany him. There is much he will want to do, and I believe his goals to be true. Make sure his means of achieving them do not allow him to fall to the darkness. 'Orchalwë will find you when you use this smoke signal. Work with him to reclaim our city.' Background The ruins of Annúminas have fallen to the forces of Angmar. Objective 1 Aid Orchalwë with Untoward Aggression Aid Orchalwë with Monuments of Angmar Aid Orchalwë with Drowning at the Docks Orchalwë has decided to join the fight and help to reclaim Annúminas. If you become separated from Orchalwë, you can use the smoke signal he gave you to call him to you. Objective 2 Talk to Orchalwë Orchalwë will want to discuss all that has happened. Orchalwë: 'I do not know if we will ever have the force to retake the city. We may have to simply wait for Angmar to find whatever they want and leave on their own. Hopefully, we can prevent too much damage to the city until that day comes. I thank you for all of your help.' Advancing this quest will no longer allow you to summon Orchalwë and will cancel any quests bestowed by him that are currently underway. Objective 3 Talk to Adadhrond Adadhrond is at Echad Garthadir in Annúminas. Adadhrond will want a report of how things went with Orchalwë. Adadhrond: 'We have worked very hard to clear these ruins, and I am quite pleased with our work. There is still much to do, but I feel we will accomplish our goal.'
