Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Do it for TwinklesHillsbrad Foothills · Level 7-30

    Warden Stillwater sent me out into the field to investigate the outbreak. When I arrived, Twinkles and I were charged by the lumbering monstrosity known as Verringtan. I was knocked off of Twinkles and immediately ran for my life. Twinkles, though, stayed behind and fought the beast off.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Blight Upon the LandHillsbrad Foothills · Level 7-30

    With the undead outbreak contained, the time has come for Stillwater and his followers to answer for their crimes. Though we averted a tragedy the likes of which has not been seen since the Scourge invaded, we must ensure that such a thing can never happen again. They will all face true death!
