Caranost is full of Orcs, and the Elves at Sirvellon's camp-site are eager to do something about it.
'If you come in peace and bear a helpful heart, then I welcome you to Sírlond. My wife Maedhril and I established this camp here among the ruins of Caranost to combat the evils that threaten the old city and the surrounding lands, and our numbers have only grown in recent days. Rangers fled here following an attack upon the river-crossing to the west, and others were drawn hither by the light of our fire. I welcome all as I welcomed you.
'To the west, a long bridge leads into Caranost proper, where Orcs dwell in great number. If you wish to help us, you will take up arms against their warriors. Many of those who shelter here bear injuries that prevent them from bringing the fight to the Orcs, but I see that you are no stranger to combat, and do it well.'
Caranost warriors can be found west of Sírlond, throughout the city.
