You found Thane Béortnoth, the last known survivor of the Orcs' assault on Thornhope, wandering half mad with injury and grief.
'Nay, I am sure it said it was called Blackthorn. It thought I was an Orc, but it listened to my tale and vowed to help me....'
Béortnoth shook his head.
'Nay, that cannot be right. My injury...it must be worse than I thought. So addled am I that I have forgotten my people.
'Will you enter the village and search for other survivors? I am Thane now, for I am sure I saw my father die -- indeed, by the hand of an uruk, I am certain -- but there is nothing left of Thornhope.'
Thornhope lies just down the road from Béortnoth's camp.
Thane Béortnoth has asked you to search Thornhope for other survivors.
Thane Béortnoth is encamped outside of Thornhope.
You should return to Béortnoth with news of your findings.
