Description

Looks like the High Speaker is addressing his workers. It seems something has finally shaken them from their complacency, and their time away from the Awakening Machine is affecting them.

Perhaps this would be a good opportunity for everyone to hear what they have to say?

We should convince a few of these Machine Speakers to speak up.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the quest's prerequisites.

  • Back to GundargazThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    We may not have overthrown the Candle King, but our work here has surely relieved some of the pressure facing Gundargaz. And it's made us more than a few new allies, as well. Our new friends will not be forgotten, on my word as Speaker.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Tunnel's EndThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    So we're hearing more rumors about Taelloch. The town and its mine are responsible for ore production. Apparently, we haven't received shipments in weeks, and the town's foreman has disappeared. Now the High Speaker is discouraging anyone from traveling there. That tells me we should investigate.

The storyline at a glance

Dark Revelations has 10 steps, from A Wrench in the Works to The High Speaker's Secret.

Where to go
