A Warning from Walstow

Fastred has received word that a rider from Walstow was sighted outside the walls of Snowbourn, but was being pursued by Orcs and turned to engage in combat. If this rider can be found, his message might be of great importance.

'${PLAYER}, one of my men just reported seeing a rider of Walstow approaching in the distance.

'He was being chased by Orcs and doubled back to fight them off. We have not seen a sign of the rider since.

'Get down there as quickly as you are able, and see if you can find him outside town. Aid him if you can!'

Fastred has reported that the rider was last seen along the road to the east.

Find the rider's trail

You have come across the remains of a rider and his steed. You should examine his body and see if you cannot glean more information about what has occurred here.

Inspect the fallen Rohirrim rider

Cynelac can be found outside the Mead Hall of Snowbourn.

Having discovered a slain Rohirrim outside Snowbourn bearing the garb of Walstow, you have deduced that a great siege will soon befall the town.
