Not even libraries are safe from the ravages of Orcs and beasts alike. Whether their interest in them be the pursuit of information or just a dry place to nest, the libraries of Moria risk an ugly degradation. Seeking to protect the literature and lineage of Moria, the Iron Garrison has sent a representative to Mekeb-farak to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy or becoming a breeding ground for all manner of foul beasts.
'Greetings, adventurer. I am Orvar Steeleye of the Iron Garrison. My superiors have tasked me with the reclamation and restoration of Mekeb-farak. Unfortunately, they partnered me with Darri.
'Darri is well-intentioned, but not well-versed in combat, and because of that, I must focus my efforts on protecting this small camp and aiding him with his tasks in Mekeb-faham. This means that my own duties go unfulfilled.
'You look to be of the capable sort. Would you shoulder my duty while I shoulder Darri's? Simply enter Mekeb-farak and clear it of the intruders inside. That's all! And to make your decision easier, I will even reward you when you've completed the task. Does that sound fair enough?'
The entrance to Mekeb-farak lies within Hadudbâb.
Orvar Steeleye has asked you to assist him in clearing Mekeb-farak of the vermin within.
Orvar can be found at Hadudbâb along the southern road of Durin's Way.
You should return to Orvar to receive a reward for your efforts.
