'While you were away, I spoke to some of the townspeople. Their accounts differ in many respects: Núrzum's height and description, the time at which he first appeared, the places he seems to haunt, all of these differ. Everyone seems to agree on two points: first, that Núrzum is dangerous and must be destroyed if Wildermore is to survive, and second, Reeve Gárwig seems completely incapable of dealing with this threat.

'I hope this is not so, but if it is true that the Reeve of Wildermore cannot protect his people, something must be done. Théoden King will need all of his allies in the days ahead, even if he does not see it, and Rohan cannot have a Wildermore-shaped gap in its northern defences.

'Reeve Gárwig makes his home in the town of Forlaw, to the south of Scylfig, on the southernmost tip of the Isingmere. Let us travel to his Mead Hall and see what plans he has made for combatting Núrzum and aiding his people.'

The uruk-hai have a camp on the shore of the Isingmere, and Reeve Gárwig has asked you to burn their supply barrels and thin their number.

Reeve Gárwig knows you cannot stand against Núrzum, so he wants you to try and combat some of the uruk-hai instead.

Objectives

• Defeat uruk-hai along the shores of the Isingmere (0/6)
• Burn uruk-hai supply barrels (0/4)

You have attempted to hinder the movements of the uruk-hai on the shores of the Isingmere, and should return to Reeve Gárwig.
