Fil Gashan is the barracks and mustering point for the Orcs' invasion of Lothlórien. Hidden deep within the fiery landscape and sharing an adjacent entrance to the Forges of Khazad-dûm, Orcs train here under the watchful eye of General Talug.
'I have been trying to piece together the Orcs' attack-plans from small scraps and naught more. Now I hear that you may be making a foray into Fil Gashan, and I ask you sincerely to help me with this task.
'The Orcs' orders are scattered throughout Fil Gashan, each telling one group or another what it is to do when they leave Khazad-dûm to the east. If we can gather enough of these plans, then I can devise a strong counter to theirs.
'If you happen upon any of their plans while making your way through Fil Gashan, pick them up and bring them to me. You can find their encampment to the south-west of Anazârmekhem.'
Fil Gashan lies to the south-west of Anazârmekhem.
Úlfur told you that he is trying to devise a counter to the offensive the Orcs have planned against Lothlórien, but he needs more information to create an effective one. He asked you to search through Fil Gashan for any signs of the Orcs' plans.
