Description

What I'm about to ask of you isn't going to be easy to accomplish, <name>. Keeshan left everything back there in that orc prison, and I'm not just talking about his soul or his will to live.

If we're going to get Johnny ready for war, we need to recover his prized possessions. The orcs now hold Keeshan's bow and his survival knife.

Head to Alther's Mill, east of here and look for two orc lieutenants, Murdunk and Homurk. They've got Keeshan's gear. Get it back.

I'll be in touch via gnomecorder.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • This Ain't My WarRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    They asked me to fight in those wars. I didn't ask them! I did what I had to do to win. So I end up getting captured by those filthy, crap-swilling, maggot orcs and for five long years they used me as a toilet. Finally I break out and head back to my hometown and what do I get?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • His Heart Must Be In ItRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    <The gnomecorder clicks.> His gear alone won't be enough, <name>. His heart must also be in this battle. To capture that, we need items of sentimental value. The Blackrock orcs of Render's Camp, located in the north, hold two such items that belong to Keeshan.
