Running Towards Nothing

Cerdic has asked you to explore the Balewood in hopes of locating the lost refugees of Byre Tor.

NOTE: This instance quest is meant to be run Solo and cannot be run in a group.

Description
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4

'${PLAYER}, you must travel into the forest before more Warg-riders rally along the path. If you find any sign of the refugees of Byre Tor, you must aid them if you can. I know not how close they have come to the forest's edge, but if you find anything -- a bag, a scrap of clothing, footprints, or even...one of their fallen -- please search elsewhere nearby.

'My men and I will hold their attention here along the road. You must go now!'

The refugees and their belongings can likely be found in southern Balewood off the eastern side of the Orc-roadway.

Cerdic has asked that you venture into the Balewood now that the Warg-riders have passed. He hopes you will find some sign of the Byre Tor refugees that fled into the frozen forest.

Objectives

Search for any sign of the Byre Tor refugees in the Balewood

The rucksack can be found off the eastern side of the Orc-roadway in Balewood.

You have discovered a rucksack belonging to what must be a refugee of Byre Tor, but the owner is nowhere to be found.

Objectives

Talk to Snow-covered Rucksack

The rucksack can be found off the eastern side of the Orc-roadway in Balewood.

The light snowfall on the rucksack leads you to believe that the refugee must still be nearby. You should prepare yourself before travelling deeper into the Balewood.

Objectives

Examine the rucksack

You have rescued several refugees of Byre Tor, and they now take shelter in a nearby cave in the Balewood. You should speak to Húna and see if you can aid them further.
