Controlling the Situation

Controlling the Situation is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-60 in Drustvar. It is step 7 of 10 in the Crimson Forest storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 24.6, 56.7. It rewards 1 reward item, 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

I have been observing this macabre army of, wood, flesh, and bone and how the witches and servitors control the lesser creations with charms. I believe I can craft an even more powerful charm - one we can use.

In the hearts of the servitors are the very strongest charms. They are used to anchor the Ancient Drust into their physical forms. They are precisely what we need.

Good luck. It is doubtful that they will part with them easily.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Matrons of the CrimsonwoodDrustvar · Level 20-60

    The witches in charge, the matrons... <Ashton shudders for a moment then composes himself.> The matrons are the ones leading the Grand Rite. They are fearsome but not invulnerable. Removing some of them from the equation will bolster our chances of stopping this. Take this potion.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Witch Way Out?Drustvar · Level 20-60

    There are other Falconhurst citizens to be freed before they become sacrifices. Free anyone you come across. The key used to free Master Ashton should still work. Good luck!
