Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'The Orc cavern we entered on the eastern slope seemed to delve deep into the mountain. This crevasse may contain passage to the other encampment. 'You have done much and we have made it this far. I shall enter the mountain before you and scout out the passage. Enter after I do and make sure you are not followed. We shall meet up again shortly.' Background After taking the camp, Arvaethor has asked you to follow him into the maw of the mountain and stop the source of the monsters descending into the Vale. Objective 1 Enter Nimrond cavern The western entrance to Nimrond is located atop the mountain encampment of Dâr Matum. Enter the western side of the Nimrond caverns. Arvaethor says, "I shall meet you in the cavern when you are ready!" Arvaethor is nowhere to be found. Perhaps he already went further into the caves Objective 2 Defeat Ruthless Dead in Nimrond cavern (0/2) Defeat Orcs in Nimrond cavern (0/2) Search deeper into the caverns of Nimrond for Arvaethor Arvaethor is located somewhere in the caverns of Nimrond. Search deeper into the caverns of Nimrond for Arvaethor. Arvaethor has been captured by a band of ruthless dead and corrupt White Mountain Orcs Arvaethor says, "Quickly my friend, prepare to defend yourself!" Arvaethor: 'I was foolish to delve into the darkness alone and let the enemy capture me. I care deeply for my home and you have done so much to help it. I do not wish for you to die for this land. I only ask that you accompany me for one last fight.'
