'I have given much thought to the situation, and I believe that the Orc menace may be more coordinated than we had believed. If our foe has been poaching fish from our stream, then surely they have discovered Minas Rant, the ancient Gondorian military tower due west from where you stand. I would wager that the Orcs plan to use it as a stronghold with which to watch over their newly claimed homes, I would stake my life on it!

'It is time for us to claim a measure of retribution. The Orcs assailed my home, and now you must assault theirs. Find whichever brute commands these monsters and strike him down for the sake of all those who have fallen.'

Cyneswith awaits at the Springview Estate to the east of Minas Rant.

Cyneswith is eager to hear of your stirke against the commander of the invading Orc forces.
