'The Vale of Andrath is Bree-land's gateway to the South. The South Downs, Dunland, Isengard, the Gap of Rohan -- all would be closed to Bree-land if the brigands are not hindered. I have learned that a force of Sharkey's Men and half-orcs from the South have just in the last day blocked the road, stopping all traffic.
'I must remain to watch the North, but the Vale demands attention. I would that you gather your allies and assault the brigands' encampment in the Vale. Follow the Greenway south, far beyond the Greenway Crossing. At the southern end of the Vale is an old ruin the brigands have fortified.
'Scatter the brigands and slay their leader. They must not hold the ruin.'
Background
Sharkey's Men and their half-orc allies from the South have blockaded the Vale of Andrath, inhibiting trade with the southern nations.
Objective 1
The brigand encampment is at the southern end of the Vale of Andrath south down the Greenway, far beyond the Greenway Crossing.
Word has come to Saeradan that Sharkey's Men and their half-orc allies have blockaded the Vale of Andrath. Saeradan must remain behind to keep an eye on the North, so he has asked you to gather together your allies and travel south, scattering the brigands and slaying their leader.
- Defeat brigands and half-orcs in Andrath (0/20)
- Defeat Sharkey's Lieutenant
Objective 2
Saeradan's cabin is east of Thornley's farm in the Bree-fields, along the north Greenway.
Saeradan will want to hear of your victory in the Vale of Andrath.
- 'Victory, you say? A success, but not victory. I see little hope for that.
- 'Come, there are yet pressing matters to be attended to.'
