Description

While you have been out, I've been keeping busy as well.

Your exploits in the Burrows drew the attention of someone much higher up. A strange being wrapped in bandages, with a scent like despair.

Fortunately, this unusual monster is paying a visit all the way down in the Burrows to find out why their abductors are missing. Now is our chance to strike, and take down this whole operation.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Make Them PreyAzj-Kahet · Level 75-90

    These abductors are rounding up citizens and no one in the Burrows can stop them. I think it is about time somebody did something. They stalk the Burrows thinking they are unseen but I can see them, we can all see them. It's just nobody here can oppose them. That is where you come in.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Kill a QueenNerub-ar Palace · Level 75-90

    Tightening her grip on the citizens is something I expected of the Queen but forcefully ascending the population of the Burrows is too far. Queen Ansurek has fallen far greater than I ever expected. I can't sit idly by and watch her lead our people to ruin. The time is now.

The storyline at a glance

To Kill a Queen has 7 steps, from Our Chance to Strike to To Kill a Queen.
