'Helmets, spears, shields, pauldrons, greaves...I will never finish these orders! Elthengel's guards and its garrison have both placed urgent orders for a great deal of weapons and armour pieces. Never has my skill or speed with a smithing hammer been questioned, but this task is too great even for me!

'I have a plan that may resolve this issue, if you would be willing to aid me. I have heard that some of the Orcs besieging the Norcrofts are known to collect swords and armour pieces from our Riders as trophies of their kills. If some of these items were reclaimed, I could include them in the shipments to the garrison. What say you? Are you up to this task?'

Baldthorne is awaiting the reclaimed weapons and armour at his smith in Elthengels.

You have reclaimed the weapons and armour pieces, once taken by the Orcs from Rohirrim.
