Overwatching Evendim

By Darkgolem



Ost Forod is a rough and ready community located in the high country of
Evendim, overwatching the road leading north to Forochel.  Now,
the entrance to Forochel is watched by evil men, and many of the folk
out of desperation have turned to treasure hunting among the tombs of
the revered rangers of this land.  Assist the Watchers of Evendim
in overcoming the greed of the folk turned to evil, and restore order
to Ost Forod by doing the many quests found here.



This are is appropriate for level 34 through 40, and around Ost Forod
you will find many there are mainly tier 3 products, though many of the
mobs here drop pristine hides rather than sturdy.  It is a good
place to grind tier 3 if you need, since most people grind the North
Downs or other areas for that sort of thing.  Regarding enemies,
you will find that the bandits and bears are the biggest threat. 
The wargs are dangerous, but the bears will debuff you like mad, and
the bandits are just a little more dangerous than other similar leveled
creatures.

A Striking absence of Boar
Ost Forod
Parr Chopley let his stomach
lead him too far, wandering the northern ways into Evendim, where he
chanced upon the rough town of Ost Forod. Nevertheless, he has not let
it daunt him. He is in the mood for a nice, hearty boar-steak, but he
is concerned that he hasn't seen any boars in all of Evendim.
Spend Time Looking for Boars in
Evendim (30 minute timer)



Evendim is a big place. There should be boars somewhere.



Parr Chopley is convinced that there must be boars somewhere in Evendim
and wants you to spend some time looking for one.



(Author's Note: Simply stay in Evendim for the duration of the timer
and
you will have accomplished this task.)

The captain of a robber-band maintains control of the road leading to

Spring Standish has asked you to defeat a tomb-robber captain at Cirith
Rhîw, in hopes that the rest of his band will disperse.



(Author's Note: Finding the captain is easy, just follow the road north
to Forochel.  But you will want at least 2 friends.  He can
be killed without player death by burst hunter damage, but when you
attack the captain you draw fire from 3 others at the same time.)

Nan Orngon and recover any artifacts they might have stolen.



(Author's note:  This quest really is more appropriate for a duo
or trio, the bears are close packed and fairly deadly.  However,
you can reach the corpse from the west outside of Ost Forod, with

more of its pieces.
Recover 12 Small Statue pieces

Recover 4 Large Statue Pieces



Tomb-robbers in Tyrn Fornech may be carrying small statue pieces, and
larger pieces can likely be found in their camp on Rantost, the island
west of Ost Forod.



Robin Dunkley has been inspired by the broken statuary you recovered
with the dream of remaking the complete statue and wants you to recover
the pieces of it.



(Author's Note: The best thing to do here is head to Rantost if you
want to have a lot of bandits to fight for access.  You can find
large pieces near the ruins there too if you need.) 19S, 95C

hunter.



Robin Dunkley heard a dreadful howling along the shore at night and is
worried that Nat Rapkins might have fallen to some evil beast. He wants
you to try and find the lost hunter.



(Author's Note: The Even-Rills are found at the far north of the
map.  Nat Rapkins is on the west side, at 4.0S, 69.7W.  He
