The Clan Murtag Orcs are fighting the Ironhand ogres in Shinji's Scarp. They've asked for my help.
===Ending the Ogre Threat===
General Godrun is counting on me to finish this battle with the Ironhand Ogres. If I can collapse the cavern they're using to get through the mountain, that should solve the ogre problem for good.
===Godrun's Dream===
The Omen of Betrayal failed to manipulate General Godrun into attacking Wayrest, but has now trapped General Godrun within his dream. Abbot Durak has asked me to enter the dream and kill the Omen to save Godrun.
===Vaermina's Gambit===
Vaermina's ultimate plan has been revealed. Her consort, the Night Terror, has seized King Emeric's mind and trapped him in a nightmare. I must face the Night Terror and save the king.
==Dialogue==
===General Godrun's Orders===
At the start of the quest:
"You're just in time. I need every able-bodied man and woman. You're carrying a weapon, so I assume you're able. You like to fight ogres?"
:If it helps to defend Stormhaven. "It does. And by Mauloch, we need you! The Ironhand ogres have stopped us cold out there, and I can't afford to lose any more soldiers. Will you join my clan—Murtag Clan—in this battle?"
::Just tell me where you need me. "We've been trying to break through the ogre lines for days. Sergeant Olfin is leading the charge. If you can help him take the tower up on the rocks, we can establish a forward command post. Then we're in striking distance to finish this thing."
:::I'll report to Sergeant Olfin right away. "I brought my army here as a favor to King Emeric, but Murtag Clan has other battles to fight. We need to finish the Ironhand Ogres and finish them fast. May your kills be quick and many, soldier."
::::Where did the Ironhand Ogres come from? "The Ironhands come from our side of the mountains, from Wrothgar. They've plagued our efforts to rebuild Orsinium for years. Murtag Clan has fought them more times than I can count. That's why King Emeric asked us to come to Gavaudon's aid."
:::::He asked you as a friend, or an ally? "Both. I fought at Emeric's side in Ranser's war. We helped drive the Reachmen from Stormhaven, and in exchange, Emeric returned Orsinium to Orc hands. That conflict was of mutual benefit. This one isn't."
::::::You sound a little resentful. "Because it was Bretons who destroyed Orsinium, and now Murtag Clan must come to their rescue? Maybe. Emeric's my friend, and he's High King of the Daggerfall Covenant, but we won't forget Orsinium. 'Wait until next time'. We … that's what we say."
::::You're in charge of Murtag Clan? "Our chieftain is in Wrothgar, but I am proud to say I lead Murtag Clan in battle. Centuries ago, Murtag Clan was one of the strongest clans in Orsinium. We were nearly destroyed along with the city, but we are resilient."
:::::Does Murtag live in Orsinium now? "Some of us do, some don't. It will be decades before Orsinium regains its former glory. Many see the city as a reminder of past defeats. Nonetheless, Murtag Clan works to rebuild it, and to defend it from the Ironhand Ogres."
After sounding the horn:
"Sergeant Olfin's impressed. Says you've got guts and you're fast on your feet. Assuming you can fight, I think we found the hero to finish these ogres off."
:When you're ready to attack, just say the word. "Ha! There won't be an 'attack.' I don't have the soldiers to spare. Abbot Durak says you're a champion though, and I trust him. I believe you can do this on your own."
===Ending the Ogre Threat===
"The ogres' leader is called 'Skull Crusher'. He's big, he's mean, and he's nasty, but you can take him. I would send soldiers to help you, but another battle is brewing, and they have to prepare."
:What other battle is brewing? "It's a fight that's long overdue, but it's Clan Murtag's fight, not yours. Your fight is with the ogres. I need you to kill Skull Crusher and stop the ogres from coming through the mountain."
::How do I stop them? "The Ironhands have been using a cavern to get through the mountains. I sent a mining team to collapse the cavern, but they never reported back. Find them and help them get it done. After that, we can clean up what's left."
:::I understand. I'll see what I can do.
==Conversations==
===General Godrun's Orders===
General Godrun: "Tell your soldiers to stand down, Sergeant. When the reinforcements come, we march south."
Sergeant Olfin: "Stand down? What do you mean? This is our chance to finish the ogres off!"
===Godrun's Dream===
General Godrun: "Don't question my orders! Just tell the commander we need more soldiers and more supplies."
Murtag Messenger: "Yes, General. If you say we need them, then we need them."
Commander Bagda: "Sorry General. We can't deploy so many against the Ironhand Ogres. Why do you ask for three regiments?"
General Godrun: "Vengeance. Emeric trusts me. I can make Wayrest suffer as Orsinium did!"
General Godrun: "I won't refuse allies, but don't forget who's in charge."
Supernal Dreamer: "Of course, General. After we sack Wayrest and kill the king, you can have the city. We just want the people."
===Vaermina's Gambit===
In High King Emeric's dream:
General Godrun: "The Daggerfall Covenant needs a stronger ruler, Emeric. Your reign as High King has come to an end. I'm taking Wayrest."
High King Emeric: "Damn it, Godrun. We've been friends for years …! How can you just betray me like this?"
