The Ruschk have set up camps on Vanguard Isle and have taken prisoners! Although we can't free the prisoners just yet, we can help them out.
Step 1: Key Camps. Before you assault the main Ruschk camp, you'll need to visit two smaller ones and collect a pair of keys. Head to the Fiun Outpost and buff up. Buff a fire weapon, protect against everything, and bane against physical and cold damage. If you are a melee, make sure you bane your shield against bludgeoning and frost! When you are ready, head south to the first camp at 85.3N, 55.0W. Start killing the Ruschk but be on the lookout for the Ruschk Camp Leader - a Ruschk with a good deal of health. When he dies, grab the key on his corpse. Now head to the second camp (at 84.5N ,53.2W) and do the same thing. When you have both keys, head for the main Ruschk camp at 83.1N, 54.8W.
Step 2: Main Camp. The main camp is much larger but not a whole lot more dangerous. Start at the outskirts and clear the Ruschk! Although you can just run into the tent in the middle of the camp, I strongly recommend against it, as the Ruschk will beat on you the whole time and possibly prevent you from getting the rewards (like what happened to me!) When everything is dead, head into the tent and unlock the two chests with your two keys. Pick up the material inside and then give them to the NPC in the tent. He will give you your rewards! Your keys have 5 uses each, but you may only pick up the materials inside the chest every 30 days. I assume the keys have multiple uses so you can unlock the chests for your fellows.
Step 3: Rewards. Turning in the materials in the two chests to the NPC will give you the Squalid Shield and 2.4 Million XP.
