Description

We are trapped here with little in the way of food and supplies.

The territorial sethrak control the land to the west, and the spiteful naga the waters to the east. We are caught between a barren desert and a hostile ocean.

If you are headed to the lagoon to face the naga, will you bring us back some crabs to eat?

I fear that our tribe will soon perish without food...

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hidden MotivesVol'dun · Level 30-60

    I do not understand why the naga would bother attacking a small fishing village. Why waste their time on our simple tribe? The naga seek power and we have none. It makes no sense! They must be after something else entirely... Search Darkwood Shoal and learn of their plans.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Elder's WisdomVol'dun · Level 30-60

    The naga are searching for a powerful artifact called the Ring of Tides. According to the invasion plans, the ring was lost long ago in a battle with Eraka no Kimbul, the great tiger loa. The temple of Eraka no Kimbul is just to the north.

The storyline at a glance

Kimbul's Wrath has 12 steps, from They Came From The Sea to Mark of the Loa.
