Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ancient MagicLevel 10-45

    Since the Broken Isles is the epicenter of ancient night elven learning, there must be countless magical artifacts secreted away in forgotten vaults and reliquaries. We must secure them so they do not fall into the wrong hands! Perhaps you should send a champion in search of them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Covert OperationLevel 10-45

    Your champion discovered some sort of powerful magic emanating from the secretive Empyrean Society enclave in Azsuna. Archmage Vargoth asked me to request Meryl's aid in investigating it, but as you can see, Meryl is clearly too ill to travel at the moment. Would you be willing to go in his place?
