Quest:Masters of the Black Siege

	Quest: Masters of the Black Siege Description: A great host of Orcs spilled through Ram Dúath, driving the Men of the North Downs from their farms. Esteldín, home of the few remaining Dúnedain of the North, was spared discovery. It is from there that the Rangers begin to plan their counter-offensive against the black tide of Angmar. Category: North Downs Quest Level: 34 Hithlim (NPC) 'I had never seen a troll until the Orkish siege-weapons rolled past us in the night. Enormous mounds of stone-coloured flesh pulled the siege-towers, catapults, and other terrible machines south towards Dol Dínen. 'I dared not attack them, not without greater numbers. Since then, I have struggled to convince Halbarad that something must be done about the trolls in Dol Dínen, but he would not permit us to risk ourselves. With the aid of yourself and others like you, he has now relented. 'I would set you this task: gather allies and go to the troll-camps south-east of Esteldín, beyond the trenches of Dol Dínen and slay as many as you can.' Weakening the Tide Siegecraft
