Assemble the Defenses

Assemble the Defenses is a quest for level 30-70 in The Azure Span. It is step 6 of 17 in the Into the Archives storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Azure Span at 46.7, 39.8. It rewards 2 reputation rewards, 9,500 experience and money.

Description

The Primalists have been hunting the Kirin Tor since we arrived in the Azure Span. They detest our practice of arcane magic.

I'll send word to Kalecgos to return from the Azure Archives. In the meantime, we need to hold them off.

It seems one of our main arcane defenses was destroyed in their initial attack. Bring the pieces back to me and I can reassemble it.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Camp AntonidasThe Azure Span · Level 30-70

    The Kirin Tor have our main camp set up to the south of here: Camp Antonidas. I believe Noriko and Khadgar are there now gathering adventurers to aid Kalecgos in reclaiming the Azure Oathstone. If you wish to help in our endeavours, go there.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Preservation of KnowledgeLevel 30-70

    Greetings, <race>. I am Althanus. I wish we could have met in a less... chaotic time. We were helping the Kirin Tor study the history of this place just a few moments before the Primalists attacked. I fear several tomes may still be out there, at risk of being destroyed in this dreadful assault.
