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.

  • Awaken, DracthyrThe Forbidden Reach · Level 10-60

    <Only flashes of memory remain as you shake off what feels like an endless sleep. The dracthyr before you is unresponsive, frozen in place by some unknown magic. You sense that within you lies the power to break your ally free. There may be others within the creche who are suspended in this stasis.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gear UpThe Forbidden Reach · Level 10-60

    Hostiles have invaded, our people have been confined in magical stasis, and our creche seems to be collapsing. This is why we train, <name>. When in doubt, fall back to what you know. First things first. Weapons, armor, supplies. Gather what you can find and get equipped while I marshal our forces.
