Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unlikely AlliesVol'dun · Level 30-60

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Break Their RanksVol'dun · Level 30-60

    This temple is our last bastion against the Faithless. We need every able fighter to defend its walls. If you're offering to help, we won't turn you away. Head into battle and do what you can to break their ranks!
