Thrymm is concerned about the the damage the prolonged cold and snow has had on the Writhendowns, and would like to see how severe its impact upon the region has been.
'Wildermore has always been a green land with mild winters. We have never encountered snows such as these, as long as I can remember.
'I must prepare these men for battle against Orcs, for they have crept in with the cold, but if you are offering your aid, you may investigate the effects of the weather on our land.
'It cannot be coincidence that the Orcs and cold have arrived together.'
Ponds can be found near Thrymm's Camp in the north-eastern Writhendowns.
You should investigate the effects of the cold and snow around the frozen ponds of the Writhendowns.
This situation appears more dire than originally thought. Thrymm Red-beard will be waiting back at his camp.
