This is one of the simpler of the stitch quests. The owl stewards have the scrolls and they're scattered around the quest area. Just click them to get a scroll and kill 8 of the forsworn guys and you're done.

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.
