Description

On Liadrin's mark, we will take the field and work our way through the cultists' front lines.

They don't know that we're here yet. We'll strike quickly and fiercely. We'll break their line and fight our way into the temple before they can tell we've arrived.

Take out as many of them as you can. Clear the way for us to enter the temple.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Ties That BindEversong Woods · Level 90
Nine warriors against an entire slumbering swarm of ancient monstrosities. The odds are long enough as is without our trying to hamstring each other at the pass. The trek by sea will take some time. Perhaps that will give us a chance to build some trust before the battle.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Back to BackEversong Woods · Level 90
We managed to reach the island without raising the alarm. The moment we go over that wall, though, all hell is going to break loose. We don't even come close to seeing eye-to-eye amongst ourselves, but we are all that stands between the mainland and total annihilation.
