Description
War rages both home and abroad. While mighty Dwarven soldiers give their lives in far off territories in the name of the Alliance, our own lands fall prey to the evil deeds of the Dark Iron Dwarves. They laid waste to the Thandol Span. Dun Modr fell soon after.
We need you to gather force and push the front back. If you can kill 15 Dark Iron Dwarves, 5 Tunnelers, 5 Saboteurs and 5 Demolitionists, the reserve might arrive in time to finish the drive.
Now make haste!
In progress
Roggo has been unable to contact the reserve forces. We need offensive pressure on that Dark Iron encampment, your class. Now get back out there and serve your duty to King Magni!
Completion
You upheld your orders well, your class. You have proven yourself to be a valiant soldier and loyal servant to King Magni and for that I salute you! With the pressure you applied to the Dark Iron encampment, we now stand a chance of driving them off our lands for good. . .if only the damned reserve would show. . . .
