TheWoWDBAnyone else as impressed as I was that an entire class of Tian students is disciplined enough to maintain their studies while the monastery is under attack by demons? Heck, one was even walking between the pupils and the instructor.
Now that's dedication.

There are alot of demons everywhere across the Tian Monastery.
Better to slay little imps as they grouped by three and have less hp than fel guards.Desperate Strike - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ONjxpQN_UM

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Slowing the Spread
Reinforcements. Just what we needed! Grandmaster, the monastery is under attack. The Legion is using a foul device known as a Fel Spreader to scorch the very earth we walk on with disgusting fel energy. Destroy those machines, and we can slow their efforts.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Storm, Earth, and Fire
Tian Monastery is in bad shape. Felspreader imps are torching the grounds. Fel spikes radiate foul energy, corrupting the nearby earth. And fel magic has seeped into the monastery's ale barrels, tainting the brew.
