The Sunken Stronghold

Kinschel's Stronghold, if you don't know of it, is built in a hollow in the Raven's End Woods. Built upon a bog into which it sank, it has remained difficult to hit with artillery for many years, enabling the stronghold to serve its purpose well. Meant to help the local militia keep the woods from being entirely overrun with brigands, it has also served us well in blocking enemy armies in time of war. I can see in your eyes an eagerness to impress. Perhaps, then, you would be willing to aid us in the capture of that stronghold? Not only would your labors save the lives of many of the green soldiers sent to the front, but you might even earn my respect!

Go to Kinschel's Stronghold in Raven's End Wood, and scout the area to ensure it is under Empire control. Return to Teodolf Arner at Blackbramble Hollow when done.
