Red-pass

"The Gaunt-lord Ivar spreads corruption through Agamaur, the Red Swamp, raising a host of evil to do the bidding of Angmar...."

Background

Ruins of the ancient kingdom of Rhudaur, twisted by time and the touch of a dark evil, lay before you. Alongside Radagast the Brown, you must find Elsa and Eriac and assist them against the Gaunt-lord, Ivar the Blood-hand, and his undead minions.

Objective One

• Talk to Radagast

You have travelled with Radagast into the corrupted swamp of Agamaur. Aid him as he travels to the Eglain-encampment to the west.

Radagast: 'We must go west to the Eglain-encampment. Elsa and Eriac will be waiting, and I can better attend to the corruption from there.

'The power which continues to corrupt this swamp is terrible, but we may not have to face it alone. The beasts tell me that there are shades of Emelin's kind which dwell here and may be convinced to aid the Eglain. I do not know why they do not remain with their own kind, but they at least have not brought harm to the Eglain.

'Now, we must hurry...the very trees scream in pain. I must see what I can do to help them as quickly as possible. Follow me, though I cannot promise aid, for I fear I will need all of my strength to face Ivar the Blood-hand.'

ObjectiveTwo

• Aid Radagast

You have travelled with Radagast into the corrupted swamp of Agamaur. Aid him as he travels to the Eglain-encampment to the west.

ObjectiveThree

• Talk to Dannasen

The leader of the shades resides at the seemingly abandoned Eglain-encampment.

The defeat of Dour-root has opened the way into the western ruins, where the shades Radagast spoke of dwell. Radagast asked that you entreat with Dannasen, their leader, for their aid.

Dannasen: 'Neven orders me to hold my post, and I must obey. He is our commander. I am under his charge, as are my men. Honour binds us, even greater than the curse of Iarwain Ben-adar.

'I will not forsake my commander, though he is so very changed. I cannot disobey his orders while he remains. If thou wish us to fight, thou must entreat with Neven. His seat is to the north.'

Objective Four

• Defeat Neven

Neven's throne is further northward into the ruins.

Neven holds some sway over the shade-captain, Dannasen. Perhaps if you speak with him you may find a way to alter Dannasen's orders.

Objective Five

• Speak to Dannasen

Dannasen lingers at the Eglain-encampment to the south of Neven's throne.

Neven, the shades' commander, was actually a wight summoned by Ivar to contain the shades. With his destruction, Dannasen may now be willing to aid you.

Dannasen: 'A wight, a fell creature of Angmar...how could I have not seen this? So long have I lingered in this swamp, cursed by Iarwain Ben-adar to bring the salvation -- or the destruction -- of the Red-maid, she who dwells within Garth Agarwen a Power ow under the influence of the gaunt-men.

'I was blind to what Neven had become. Now, I shall make amends. Now, we shall make our battle and strive to fulfil our curse.'

Objective Six

• Follow the shades deeper into Agamaur

Dannasen lingers at the Eglain-encampment to the south of Neven's throne.

Neven, the shades' commander, was actually a wight summoned by Ivar to contain the shades. With his destruction, Dannasen may now be willing to aid you.

Objective Seven

• Follow Radagast deeper into Agamaur

Follow Radagast as he moves deeper into Agamaur.

Dannasen, renewed, called forth his men to battle and opened the way westward. It may be that now you will be able to reach Elsa and Eriac.

Objective Eight

• Talk to Elsa the Bold

Speak to Elsa to learn more about her battles in Agamaur.

Thanks to Dannasen and his men, the way westward into Agamaur was opened, and you were able to reach Elsa and Eriac.

Elsa the Bold: 'We were beaten. There is no way to hide this. This Ivar commands the water, the wights, the forest itself. He cannot be neaten by my meagre force, and I fear there is something far more terrible within the ruins to the north.

'I know there is little time before a great evil spills forth from Garth Agarwen. Our only hope is Radagast, only he will be able to stop this Ivar. Please, go north to the gate of Garth Agarwen with him. Stop the Gaunt-lord Ivar.

Objective Nine

• Speak to Radagast

The gate into Garth Agarwen lies to the north.

Elsa has sent you to seek Ivar at Garth Agarwen and put an end to him.

Radagast: 'Hurry now, the Gaunt-lord Ivar is not far from here, near the gates of Garth Agarwen to the north. He may not reveal himself immediately, so we may need to draw him forth.

'The way ahead will be difficult, but to not give up hope. We shall triumph this day if we do not lose heart!'

ObjectiveTen

• Aid Radagast

The gate into Garth Agarwen lies to the north.

Elsa has sent you to seek Ivar at Garth Agarwen and put an end to him.

Objective Eleven

• Speak to Radagast

Speak to Radagast to see if there is something else he would have you do.

Radagast has driven the Gaunt-lord Ivar from Agamaur and stopped his nefarious plans...for now.

Radagast: 'That creature commands great power, but against a heart full of hope and trust in one's allies, such power means nothing. Thank you for your help here, my friend. We have done well this day Ivar's spreading corruption is stayed, at least for the moment.

'I must return now to the Eglain encampment and help end this evil forever. There is more that you ought to do here, if you are willing. But we will not speak of such matters now.'

Radagast: 'Shall we return to the Eglain-encampment now?'
