An unusual number of hendrevail, North-hawks, have begun to flock near Othrikar, and Hlája Sagasong fears the Dourhands may be using them to spy on the mine.
'Good day to you! Have you seen all the hendrevail, or North-hawks as some call them? These wicked birds have always been dangerous, but it seems there are more and more of them about nowadays. I think that the Dourhands have started taming them. I'm afraid they are being used as spies.
'If you would earn favour with us, go out and kill as many of the foul creatures as you can. You can find them all throughout the hills around Othrikar.
'If you will do this for us, I'll see to it that you are rewarded for your work.'
There are North-hawks all throughout the hills around Othrikar.
Hlája Sagasong has asked you to assist the Dwarves of Othrikar by slaying as many hendrevail as you can.
Hlája Sagasong is at Othrikar.
Hlája Sagasong sent you to slay the hendrevail flocking in the hills around Othrikar. You should return to him with the news of your success.
