Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Great CollapseIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    Now that we landed a mighty blow, it is time to make sure that we block their tunnels so they cannot come back. Remember the stuff that Korgran asked about? Explosive sticks--his recipe. I have brought enough to shake a mountain! More than enough for the kobolds.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Who Runs This Fine Establishment?Isle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    While you were dealing with the tunnels and the workmasters, I saw a peculiar kobold go into a cave to the northwest. The kobolds seemed to respect him more than the others, calling him Grand-Heister Bokk and offering him the food you call "cheese." This makes me think he is the real mastermind.
