Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• A Gift for GreymaneStormheim · Level 10-45

  It looks like the Gilnean infiltrators brought some heavy ordnance to the fight. It's likely they intend to use them on the walls of Dreadwake's Landing. If these could be rigged to Greymane's ship, it could make for a decisive end to his assault on the outpost.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• To Skold-AshilStormheim · Level 10-45

  Thanks to your initiative, <class>, the situation at Dreadwake's Landing is under control. We have no time to rest on our laurels, however - Sylvanas's mission must still be carried out. The dark rangers are heading up operations in Skold-Ashil from the tower overlooking the river junction.
