Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pieces of UsTalador · Level 20-40

    When the fires broke out, I took only my daughter's hand before we fled. It was the right decision, of course, but I do long for some of the things we left behind. I am an artificer, a shaper of crystals and gems. Without my tools I am just another refugee.

After this quest

  • PyrophobiaTalador · Level 20-40

    W- we have done n-n-nothing to provoke the arakkoa... w-why would they attack Aruuna? What do they want from us? I want to run, but I'm... too afraid. That leader of theirs will burn me to a crisp, I just know it! H-he's just inside the inn...
