'My scouts have sent me rumours of a foe named Mazog giving orders to the forces of evil in Moria. I would hazard a guess that they mean to make war to the east, burning through the forest as they go. This must not be allowed to take place... not while I draw breath, nor any of the dwarves here in Moria.

'Too long have we been exiled from this place, and too long will we suffer if the Elves are harmed because we were away. I have sent my brothers below to scout two locations in which we have seen greater numbers of Orcs.

'The first of them is at the Orc-watch, south-west from here. You will want to go there and speak with Avar, the eldest. My second brother is at Anazârmekhem and goes by the name of Pálmar. The youngest, Teitur, is also somewhere in Anazârmekhem. When you have done all that they ask, return to me.'

Narfi is at the Twenty-first Hall, north-east of the Orc-watch and Anazârmekhem.

After many difficult forays into the very heart of the Orc-strongholds of Moria, you have had decisive victories and thwarted the creatures' attempts to make a devastating blow upon the Elves of Lothlórien.
