Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Hounds of WarLevel 70
I think we've had enough fun on our own, yes? The Scarlets stationed near the city's chapel seem to be the most elite of their forces. I believe we'll find whoever is leading them there, but going alone is unnecessarily dangerous. Time to bring the true might of Gilneas and take our city back.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Artillerist ArsonistLevel 70
The chapel seems to be their base, and it is well defended--they've set up multiple defenses throughout the courtyard. The troops would have an easier time sieging if we could get some of them out of the way. Remember those explosives we gathered? Now is when they come in handy.
