Description

Distressing news comes from the Burrows, a sinister plan is unfolding in the gutters below. Citizens of the ward have been disappearing at an alarming rate. Skeinspinner Takazj and Anub'arash have all the subtlety of a hammer. I doubt it is their work. This is the hand of someone more subtle. I have a contact in the Burrows. His name is Gut'usul. Meet with him in the Burrows and find out what is going on down below.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Beginning of the EndAzj-Kahet · Level 75-90

    Queen Ansurek has been busy since the assassination attempt. Her grip is tightening on Azj-Kahet and her ever loyal nobles attend to her darkest whims. On behest of the Queen, her two most loyal nobles Skeinspinner Takazj and Anub'arash, have locked down the Umbral Bazaar.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Defense of the PeopleAzj-Kahet · Level 75-90

    The Vizier no doubt filled you in on some of the details. Citizens in the Burrows are missing, that much you know. But whispers on the wind tell a bigger story. Our citizens are being taken to the Transformatory and never returned! We must stop this at all costs.
