Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Making AcquaintancesTalador · Level 20-40

  It's nice to see someone else taking a vested interest in the arcane arts, you know. It's all too rare these days if you ask me. Unfortunately, I must meet Cordana to handle an important matter, but we're in luck!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Forming the ScrollTalador · Level 20-40

  We'll need arcane parchment to make the scroll. The arcane energy everywhere at this nexus froze the ancients in place and settled in their bark. If we take pieces from the few that haven't been destroyed by the fungal creatures, I can mold them into parchment.
