Quest:Instance: Red-pass

Red-pass
"The Gaunt-lord Ivar spreads corruption through Agamaur, the Red Swamp, raising a host of evil to do the bidding of Angmar...."

Background

Ruins of the ancient kingdom of Rhudaur, twisted by time and the touch of a dark evil, lay before you. Alongside Radagast the Brown, you must find Elsa and Eriac and assist them against the Gaunt-lord, Ivar the Blood-hand, and his undead minions.

Objective 1

You have travelled with Radagast into the corrupted swamp of Agamaur. Aid him as he travels to the Eglain-encampment to the west.

• Talk to Radagast

'We must go west to the Eglain-encampmentt. Elsa and Eriac will be waiting, and I can better attend to the corruption from there.

'The power which continues to corrupt this swamp is terrible, but we may not have to face it alone. The beasts tell me that there are shades of Emelin's kind which dwell here and may be convinced to aid the Eglain. I do not know why they do not remain with their own kind, but they at least have not brought harm to the Eglain.

'Now, we must hurry...the very trees scream in pain. I must see what I can do to help them as quickly as possible. Follow me, though I cannot promise aid, for I fear I will need all of my strength to face Ivar the Blood-hand.'

• Aid Radagast

Objective 2

The leader of the shades resides at the seemingly abandoned Eglain-encampment.

The defeat of Dour-root has opened the way into the western ruins, where the shades Radagast spoke of dwell. Radagast asked that you entreat with Dannasen, their leader, for their aid.

• Talk to Danassen

Objective 3

Neven's throne is further northward into the ruins.

Neven holds some sway over the shade-captain, Dannasen. Perhaps if you speak with him you may find a way to alter Dannasen's orders.

• Defeat Neven

Objective 4

Dannasen lingers at the Eglain-encampment to the south of Neven's throne.

Neven, the shades' commander, was actually a wight summoned by Ivar to contain the shades. With his destruction, Dannasen may now be willing to aid you.

• Speak to Danassen

• Follow the Shades deeper into Agamaur

Objective 5

Follow Radagast as he moves deeper into Agamaur.

Dannasen, renewed, called forth his men to battle and opened the way westward. It may be that now you will be able to reach Elsa and Eriac.

• Follow Radagast deeper into Agamaur

Objective 6

Speak to Elsa to learn more about her battles in Agamaur.

Thanks to Dannasen and his men, the way westward into Agamaur was opened, and you were able to reach Elsa and Eriac.

• Talk to Elsa the Bold

Objective 7

The gate into Garth Agarwen lies to the north.

Elsa has sent you to seek Ivar at Garth Agarwen and put an end to him.

• Speak to Radagast

• Aid Radagast

Objective 8

Speak to Radagast to see if there is something else he would have you do.

Radagast has driven the Gaunt-lord Ivar from Agamaur and stopped his nefarious plans...for now.

• Speak to Radagast
