    do 11w,19n,2e

  • Find where a family of orcs, odd as that sounds, has caught and trapped an old shepherd and free him.

  • Knowing Adunaic would be very useful for this quest as that's what the ranger speaks. Orcish would be interesting, too, but as that's not available until you can get to East Arda, it's unlikely you'll have it when this weapon would be useful.

  • You will immediately see A small, annoying sparrow.

    watch sparrow

    The sparrow will lead you into the grove.

    You will now meet An elder orc, A young sibling orc, An orc youth and An old shepherd, struggling in his shackles. Kill the orcs.

    You may need a light source in this room. Now you should listen to the old man. He'll say things like Mind Ye don't touch anytin, tis a sacred, special room.". You can look around and take the objects, but they're trapped so you'll lose HP. When you are ready to continue.

    heed shepherd

    Aldamir will then give you your reward.
