Walkthrough & Notes

There is an additional quest associated with each prisoner, you must complete that quest to get credit for "questioning" that prisoner and advance the main quest. The first involves fending off an attack on the spot. The second involves speaking to each of the prisoners, and so these two are completed without leaving the immediate area. The other two involve luring a Mumak and planting banners far to the south. 4th prisoner: One Massive Problem - North Ithilien Quest Chain

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'I do not know what to make of this, my friend. To what end have the Southrons surrendered? What drove them to such a decision? 'I have separated most of them among my men, and they are kept under guard. I sought to speak with them when first we arrived at Aelin Veren, but they remained silent. It seems that neither we nor the Southrons know how best to proceed. 'Perhaps they would think differently of you, <name>... 'I would ask you to speak to them, question their purpose in Ithilien, and see if we cannot discover what led to their surrender. 'Would you do this for us, my friend?' Background Never before known to yield in battle, a party of Haradrim have surrendered to the Rangers of Ithilien for reasons that remain unclear. Objective 1 Question the Haradrim prisoners at Aelin Veren (0/4) The Haradrim prisoners can be found at Aelin Veren, in North Ithilien. Maendal has asked you to question the Haradrim prisoners and learn the reason for their surrender. Objective 2 Talk to Maendal Maendal has asked you to question the Haradrim prisoners and learn the reason for their surrender. You should speak to Maendal and tell him of what you discovered. Maendal: 'Through your efforts, we have learned of the Southron's purpose in their surrender. It was a wise decision, regardless of our past encounters with their people, and I am glad their... war-master came to such a conclusion without further bloodshed. 'I am not certain we could have resolved this peacefully without your aid. 'Now, we have upheld our half of the bargain, and I would expect them to do the same.'
