    Thithrand

Bestowal

'One by one, the Orcs travelled up the hallways towards the entrance to the Grand Stair. At their head, riding a Warg scarred by many battles, rode a banner-bearing goblin. I heard his name echoed from the forces as they cheered, seeing the entrance to their new home.

'Their tribute rested on litters dragged by other Warg-riders. Glothrok the Vile, a scourge of the Misty Mountains and leader of the Warg-riders, entered at their head.

'Never have I seen such a terrifying beast ridden by so confident a goblin. They must be destroyed, and to accomplish this, you must enter the Grand Stair, north-east of the Orc-watch.'

Background

Warg-riders make their way through the mountain-crags and slip into and out of the shadows of Moria with ease. At the Grand Stair, a leader and his aged mount have come to bend knee to Igash the Fanatic and Mazog.

Objectives

Objective 1

  • Defeat Glothrok the Vile
  • Defeat Forzunk
  • Glothrok the Vile is within the Grand Stair, north-east of the Orc-watch.

    Thithrand seemed unnerved at the sight of a powerful goblin riding an even more powerful-looking Warg. The pair entered the Grand Stair at the head of the Warg-riders and have not been seen since.

    Objective 2
  • Talk to Thithrand at the Orc-watch
  • Thithrand is at the Orc-watch, south-west of the Grand Stair.

    You should return to Thithrand with news of your victory.
