Bestowal

'The banners you brought confirm my fears, Player. The Orcs are not some ravaging horde sent hither without direction.

'These banners belong to three tribes. Each tribe performs a different purpose. At Nan Wathren, the Orcs attack Trestlebridge relentlessly, trying to force their way into Bree-land. At Gosgenethad, the Orcs are the defenders of Fornost. South at Dol Dinen, they prepare for a long occupation.

'We must know their strengths and their intent. The camp in the south, at Dol Dinen, seems to be the most fortified. You must infiltrate this camp and find their orders. I would not go beyond their outer camps.'

Background

A great host of Orcs spilled through Ram Duath, driving the Men of the North Downs from their farms. Esteldin, home of the few remaininng Dunedain of the North, was spared discovery. It is from there that the Rangers begin to plan their counter-offensive against the black tide of Angmar.

Objectives

Objective 1
Collect Orc-Orders
[12.8S, 36.5W]

The orders may be found at one of the outer camps in Dol Dinen, south-east of Esteldin.

Concerned by the coordinated efforts of three Orc-tribes in the invasion of the North Downs, Daervunn has asked you to seek out their orders.

Objective 2
Return to Daervunn


Daervunn may be found in Esteldin, northwest of the camps at Dol Dinen.

Return the Orc-orders to Daervunn in Esteldin.

Notes


The orc orders (12.8S, 36.5W) are on a table in a cave on east side just before you enter into the Dol Dinen area to the south. There are many wargs outside of this area, which can be used as a mark.
