Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Catapult DestructionExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    Did you notice the catapults on our way up? It appears the ogres plan to attack our allies below. Lindie anticipated something like this and provided several bombs to handle siege weapons. Just don't shake them too hard.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dungeon: Darkmaul CitadelExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    You've slown down Gor'groth's efforts to control Kalecgos atop the citadel, but the ritual itself needs to be thwarted. You must storm the citadel and stop him from completing the ritual. His dark magic is an affront to the Light. We will need all the help we can get.
