Angir's tomb

It's a part of the most important task given by the Fire Clan - it's Kerth who gives it (described later). When you find the tomb (use a map Kerth gave you) and a proper Ancestor Stone, enter the tomb, kill all skeletons, defeat Angir, and put the stone into pedestal (you are going to do that in all tombs). The pedestals are near the walls (you have to look for them, sometimes you have to check the second chamber). You get the Angir's Ancestor Stone helping the Nordmarian Osmund you find near the tomb. Help him to destroy a group of Orcs. This way he gets back the stone and then you may take it from him.

The quest similar to the previous one but it's the tomb of another hero. To find the Baldar's Ancestor Stone you have to kill the shadowbeast living in a cave nearby the tomb. Just next to the tomb's entrance you find the blood that leads you to the beast's lair. Kill the shadowbeast and take the stone from its body.

The power of the ancestors

Kerth the leader of the Fire Clan gives this quest.

There are six tombs signed on a map with red crosses. A cursor shows your position. You may also compare the tomb's map with the map of Nordmar (if you have troubles with finding these places). Do not get angry when you can't find the entrance - sometimes it seems that you are at the correct place but you still can't see the tomb. It's advisable to check all possible sides, because an entrance can be a little away from the cross-signed on the map. Finding all tombs will probably take a lot of time so it's good to sign the tombs already visited.

Orc camp wiped out!!!

It's a part of quest connected with liberation of Nordmar, given by Kerth. There are five such camps all over the Nordmar. You surely find them while doing other quests. It's always a difficult fight because of the number of warriors and shamans. Destroy following camps one by one. Use the best tactic: lure the Orcs outside and run away when you need to.
