What to do
Description
{name}. Come with me. I could explain, but it's easier to understand if you see it for yourself.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pursuit of Justice
Draka stands ready to unleash the power of the necropolis upon Gharmal. We need only buy her time to focus its weaponry. What we do now, we do for all of us. Bastion and Maldraxxus have both lost much to these fiends. Gharmal will not be defeated easily...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gharmal's Tower
Gharmal collected anything they believed to be an item of power. We'll need to search the tower. There is almost certainly something here of value to us.
