Description

To lead his tainted forces, the God-King has enlisted demons of great power to act as his lieutenants. If we wish to end his assault, we will need to take their leaders.

These demons are too powerful for most mortals to face, but with the power of Stormheim at your disposal, they will prove no match for you.

Take them down, and shatter the spine of Skovald's offensive!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stem the TideStormheim · Level 10-45

    Skovald has profaned the Gates of Valor with his demonic allies. Among his forces his twisted mystics have conjured portals to ferry his fel allies from their blighted worlds. If we wish to stem this tide, these portals must be destroyed. I will gather my allies.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stormheim's SalvationStormheim · Level 10-45

    It would seem that the portals we destroyed down here were not the only ones. Demons still pour in from the top of the Gates of Valor's edifice, summoned by the God-King himself! I cannot face Skovald alone. Come, champion, let us take the battle to him and end this threat! For Stormheim!
