Description

I got one more assignment for ye. This one comes straight down from the Overseer himself. Seems he was pretty shook up once he heard about that "Archduke" ye discovered.

He's asked for us to hunt down three Twilight ministers that work over in Firewatch Ridge, to the west. Kiyuubi, Letherio, and Finister are their names, and they each carry some sort o' special rock. Combine all three and bring 'em back here.

Listen, when the Overseer gives orders, ye don't ask questions. Ye just do it.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Recon EssentialsSearing Gorge · Level 15-30

    We used to have more stuff around here. I think there was a spyglass somewhere nearby, along with a smithing tuyere. I'm pretty certain that they've been stolen by Dark Iron dwarves. Yes, I know that I'm a Dark Iron dwarf! I'm talking about the bad ones that live down in that gorge.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In the Hall of the Mountain-LordSearing Gorge · Level 15-30

    The Thorium Brotherhood doesn't maintain a militia - just a few guards, and me, and that's it. If we're to successfully strike against the Dark Irons of the gorge, we're gonna need help. Mountain-Lord Rendan sits atop that tower across the gorge, to our south.
