'Player, I have a task for you. The Orcs in Dol Dinen, to the south-east, are fortifying their position. They dig trenches, tear down trees, and are burning enough of them to cover the area in a heavy cloud of smoke and ash.

'On the outskirts of the encampment, goblins patrol, protecting the main force. While the goblins alone are not a great threat, scattered among them are several skirmishers from the Ongburz tribe. If you can slay several of these skirmishers, the goblins may be dismayed.

'The Ongburz orcs are among the fiercest of the Orc-tribes known to the Dunedain. Bring me their badges, so that we may be certain it is they who lead this horde.'

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 remaining 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 Ongburz badges (0/8)


Ongburz Skirmishers can be found among the goblins who patrol the outskirts of the Orc-host in Dol Dinen, south-east of Esteldin.

Arohir told you about the Orc-host in Dol Dinen, and the goblins they use to guard the outskirts of their encampment. He also mentioned that skirmishers of the ONgburz tribe were seen among the goblins and has asked you to slay them in hopes that the deaths of the power Ongburz Skirmishers might break the wall of goblins.

Objective 2
Return to Arohir with the Ongburz-insignias.
