Bestowal

'I have another task for you, $PLAYER$, if you are willing. We have discovered three captains of the Ongburz who command the lower ranks of the Orcs and goblins in Dol Dinen. If these captains are slain, it may throw the lower ranks into confusion.

'Enter the encampment of the Orc-host in Dol Dinen, south-east of Esteldin, and slay the Ongburz captains Thorgal, Shum-batar, and Dombri. They were last seen among the Warg-keepers.

'If I were in your place, I would not attempt this alone. Gather allies, or you will not likely succeed.'

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.
