'There are a number of Orc-camps in Taur Morvith, ${PLAYER}. I do not know if the southern way is the ideal road for the Hidden Guard to take to Dol Guldur. My friend Malendol headed south to investigate, but he has not returned.

'If you will travel south and scout the pair of Orc-forts there, you may find some sign of my friend. If the Orc-presence is so great as to cause him trouble, it is certainly too dangerous for the Hidden Guard to bring Mazog this way.

'It is to be hoped that Malendol is not in Krul Lugu itself, but you should start your search there, in case the worst has happened.'

Malendol may be somewhere in or around the Orc-fortifications of Krul Lugu, in Taur Morvith.

You have assessed the Orc-presence at Krul Lugu and should now search for Malendol, who may be in trouble.

Objectives

• Find Malendol in or around Krul Lugu

Erymbes is at the Verdant Shrine, north of the Orc-camps of Krul Lugu, in Taur Morvith.

You have scouted the Orc-camps of Krul Lugu and defended Malendol and should return now to Erymbes with what you have learned.

Objectives

• Talk to Erymbes
