Stage 3

'As we heard at the council last night, King Thráin has ordered the Seven Houses to aid upon the fringes of the dale.

'Among them, the Landorrim, Narfanghoth, and Temámir have travelled to Zirakazhâr on the slopes of Zirakzigil. Once it is reclaimed from the Orcs, I fear they shall have to contend with the trolls we spied from afar.

'As for the Kámbrada, Zhélruka, and Abnúzhu... they have a harder path to take. If they can break through the Orkish outpost blocking the way to Tharkh Shathur, they intend to claim Ashmargathâl and set siege to Atrad-zarakh, the old warding-spire of Khazad-dûm.

'It is far too much, indeed, to ask of any one of the Seven Houses, but together, we will triumph! By Durin's beard, Azog will not live to see the morrow!'

Dwarves of the Landorrim, Narfanghoth, and Temámir can be found at Zirakazhâr on the slopes of Zirakzigil to the north-west of Amdân. Dwarves of the Kámbrada, Zhélruka, and Abnúzhu can be found at Ashmargathâl, far to the north of Amdân on the slopes of Bundushâthur.

Dáin has asked you to aid the other Dwarves of the Haban'akkâ. You should aid the dwarves in Amdân, as well as those who have battled to Zirakazhâr and Ashmargathâl.
