'In the north-eastern reaches of the Ashenslades, a small Orc-encampment known as Garmadh-maudhûl can be found overlooking the valley below. This encampment is believed to be a staging point for supplies into Dol Guldur.

'There have been rumours that some of the raw materials in this area have been affected by the blight that has swept across the region. Please go to the outskirts of Garmadh-maudhûl and retrieve several satchels of discarded ore and bring them to me, so that we can determine if the ore is blighted in some way.

'Garmadh-maudhûl lies to the north-east of here. The ore has been placed in sacks and can be found in the surrounding area.'

Eirien is at Mithechad, south-west of Garmadh-maudhûl.

You should bring the discarded ore to Eirien. Perhaps she will be able to see if this ore has been affected by the blight.
