Description

We'd barely pulled ourselves together after the flood when the Dark Iron hit the town. My men and I all rushed to defend the townsfolk, but the crazed fools retreated right into the keep itself.

They're holed up good, and we can't destroy the keep. Not with half the town in ruins already.

Take my place, <name>. I'd take the leader on myself if he hadn't dealt me this blow. Enter the keep, slay Horghast, and bring this to an end!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Incendicite OreWetlands · Level 10-30

    Thelgen Rock over yonder is something of a natural wonder. It's the only known source of incendicite in the world! The stuff's rare, highly sought, and ridiculously explosive. Hit it with a steel mining pick and you'll set off a fireworks show that'll put a room full of goblins to shame.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • When Life Gives You CrabsWetlands · Level 10-30

    There's a lot to do here, <class>, but we need to keep an eye out for the gifts of fate. When the flood rolled in, right over our houses, it swept a good number of ocean dwellers with it. Menethil Bay's full of crabs now, large and ripe for the picking.
