Does anyone know where/how this quest starts? I travel to the area, but there is no obvious quest giver, and no auto-pop up when I'm near it on the map. Any ideas? I will update this comment as soon as I figure it out.

Description
The soldiers garrisoned here are doing their best to hold out, but they're struggling. Pirates haven't dared attack this gate in years, and never with such a large force. If you're handy in a fight, Lieutenant Tarenfold will want to meet you. He's organizing the militia up ahead.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- No-Landing Zone
These pirates are ruthless - they're bringing in landing boats to cut off our escape! The guards are down at the riverside holding them off, but I'm afraid they'll be overrun before my family and I can get away!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Farmers Who Fight
I was hoping for a squad of Proudmoore Academy's finest, but I guess you'll have to do. What we lack in manpower we make up for in courage! Even the farmers here won't give up their land without a fight. Send the bravest of them to me.
