Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Catapult DestructionExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    As we snuck in here I noticed the ogres erecting catapults to destroy our camp. Cork must have anticipated this and gave me several explosives to use, "just in case". Take these explosives and blow up those catapults! Also 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

    Gor'groth seeks to use shadow magic to gain control of Kalecgos, the aspect of the Blue Dragonflight. He's collected enough life essence to attempt to finish the ritual. I do not know what will happen, but we cannot let him complete it! Gor'groth will not stop until he is slain!
