'This northern army consists of Orcs from Mordor and Sûhalar Easterlings. These strange, axe-wielding Easterlings are a new threat, the likes I have not seen before. If we are to hold the northern gate for the Rohirrim we will need to deal with these northern forces.

'Venture into Talath Anor, the lands north of here and defeat patrols of these Easterling axe-men.

It has also come to my attention that these Easterlings are trying to construct barricades along the Forant River. This should be dealt with as well.'

Ingold can be found at the northern gate of the Rammas.

You should speak with Ingold.
