Breaking the Cycle

Breaking the Cycle is a quest for level 36-80 in Theramore Isle. It is step 26 of 63 in The Blue Dragons storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dustwallow Marsh at 67.0, 54.6. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

With many of their rank-and-file captured, it is time to deal with the leader of this so-called Sullied Banner.

I imagine Kalecgos wishes to take her alive. I have no such compunctions, but I am not a picky dragon. So long as we put a stop to her schemes, I care little what happens to her.

His plan, though troublesome, seems to have worked thus far. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, at least for a short while longer.

Theramore gets completely bugged if you go back to the past with the "The Sullied Banner" quests active.

NPC's from past Theramore will be present in ruined Theramore, some will be floating, some will be falling down eternally and others around the "bomb hole" will be uninteractible.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sound of SilenceCrystalsong Forest · Level 36-80

    It has been so many years since Shandaral has known true silence. With luck, our actions today will allow the echoes of this cursed place to fade. You are due back in the Isles, no doubt--and I think it is high time I fly there as well.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sullied BannerTheramore Isle · Level 36-80

    So long as there has been magic, there have been those willing to utilize it for nefarious ends. I am not certain what grievances these rogue mages hold that has prompted Surigosa to chase them down, but I am inclined to trust her judgment on the matter.

The storyline at a glance
