Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• In Wine, TruthBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

  The military was all that old man Colburn had. After he retired, he still clung to it like a lifeline. He knows the name of every general, unit, brigade, detachment... you name it. He's the man you need. Problem is, his mind is scarred. He won't talk to anyone unless he gets his Kul Tiras wine.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Cowards and FoolsBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

  Listen, <name>. No offense, but the operation they put Thassarian in charge of was pure suicide. A handful of our men were to launch an attack on the biggest Scourge presence in the area.
