Quest:Restoring the Balance

	Quest: Restoring the Balance Description: The lynx that prowl Thorin's Gate are too many for the land to support. They attack travellers and the thrushes, long-time friends of the dwarves. Category: Ered Luin Quest Level: 2 Nos Grimsong (NPC) 'Blast those Dourhands! They're supposed to be out hunting, but I see nary a one of them out there! There are too many lynx and not enough food to go around. Worse still, our friends, the thrushes, are falling prey to the beasts! We can't stand by and do nothing, so I'm asking you to go out on a hunting expedition for us. 'Kill a few of the lynx and keep them from doing more harm. Just north-east of Frerin's Court I saw a pride of the beasts. 'Oh, and be sure to bring back the pelts! The nights out here are cold and long, and we could use some warm furs to keep away the chill.' Laergil (NPC) 'The Dourhands do nothing to stem the growth of the lynx in this area. No surprise, to be honest. Despite their newfound ties to their cousins, the Longbeards, the Dourhands are the same dwarves that Skorgrím led against Edhelion centuries ago. We cannot expect them to be proper stewards of the land. 'Go into the wilds and cull the lynx population. You can find them in the wooded areas near the frozen lake down the road from here. You can also find them to the north.' 'Return the pelts of the creatures to me. It would be a waste to leave the furs out on the snow, and I am sure Durin's Folk would appreciate them in the cold nights to come.'
