Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Fragments of LanguageTanaris · Level 15-30

  At the Southmoon ruins, just east of here, we've made some finds. My colleagues have found stone shards, engraved with ancient writings, newly exposed by the shifting sands. The writings are in no known tongue, though they bear resemblance to markings we've seen on other ruins of the titans.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• The Secrets of UldumTanaris · Level 15-30

  We are ready to enter the antechamber itself, <name>. This is a momentous occasion. From the writings you've brought us, I believe these ruins were in fact once the grand entrance to Uldum itself.
