Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Insight into Our EnemiesNazjatar · Level 50

  There's no telling what awaits us within this land. We cannot press forward without first knowing exactly what we're up against. Our new allies have long been embattled with the naga. They would know best how to navigate these waters.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Bound by HonorNazjatar · Level 50

  It is true that my clan has been battling the naga for generations, but it was only in recent times that we took the fight to Nazjatar. Our leader was slain by the vile queen, and now honor binds my clan to this deep ocean. We will avenge their death or die here trying. It is our way.
