Completion

Bruenor Battlehammer

Ye've earned a rightful place in me court, <name>, for all ye've done to keep Gauntlgrym safe. I won't forget this, I swear.

While ye were gone, Regis found out that the undead mindflayers were servants of Orcus, the demon prince of undeath.

Orcus wants te see the entire world turned undead, which I guess explains the mindflayers. Blast it, I thought we only had te fight Demogorgon, how many of these damned demon lords are loose?

We'll handle Orcus later. I got big news, <name>. We found the bloody thing - Demogorgon is near.
