'${PLAYER}, I am curious as to what happened at the battlefield you discovered. Clearly, there was conflict between Riders of the Mark and the Orcs, but what brought the Riders there to begin with? And who was that old man you found there?

'I bid you return to the site and see if you can find any answers to this mystery.'

A thin pillar of campfire smoke can be seen to the west.

You should find the camp-fire, for perhaps the friends or foes you find will have answers about what took place here.

Objectives

The men at this fishing-encampment at the edge of the Entwash and Fangorn appear friendly.

You should speak to a fisherman at the camp.
