Saving the Tactician

My dark kin are reeling after our victory at Vaul's Anvil. Now is the time for us to move towards the Fist of Malekith and seize our final victory. While the Dragon Princes muster their ancient beasts to war, we march through the valleys of Caledor toward the heart of the invasion. No, our forces have not survived unscathed. Our enemies continue to encroach upon us like shadows around a sputtering flame. Still, we must strike back while their morale is weaker than it has been since this incursion began. Amongst the Dragon Princes, there is one that is known as the Tactician. His insight into war has proven useful on many occasions, and he is desperately needed now. He was marching his Dragon Princes through the valley south of Ulan Bel when I last heard news of him. We must find Alerinas the Tactician, and bring him back alive.

Go to the valley south of Ulan Bel and search for clues to Alerinas the Tactician's whereabouts. Speak with any Elves of his cadre, should you find them.
