Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Shielded SecretsStormheim · Level 10-45

  It's obvious at this point that the Horde wants something in Skold-Ashil. Unfortunately we still don't know what they're after. We think the secret lies with the shieldmaidens here, so we need to find out more about them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Ending the New BeginningStormheim · Level 10-45

  The Banshee Queen is here! I'd recognize those tainted arrows anywhere. This is the moment we have been fighting for. Sylvanas will answer for her crimes against Varian Wrynn and the Alliance! To arms!
