Bestowal

'We are nearly for a decisive assault upon Amon Angened, but my men have warned me that a set of siege-engines lies in wait, looking upon the steep paths that we must scale to take the fortress.

'To muster an assault under the rain of such dark engines would result in needless death and might even cause our assault to falter.

'If you can destroy those engines before we begin the assault, the Orcs will have no choice but to face us in battle, where our valour shall prove unmatched!'

Background

The the approach of the Orc-fortress atop Amon Angened is watched by many siege-engines based in Gastannon. If those engines cannot be destroyed before the Malledhrim's attack, the Golden Host will suffer grievious casualties beneath the hail of bolts and stones.
