Description

My arch-nemesis, Lord Cannon, has foolishly decided to throw his allegiance to the Twilight's Hammer.

In the past, we've coexisted with a shaky truce, but his change of heart leaves me little choice but to put an end to him. Or, I should say, if you want the information that you seek from the dead dwarf, you're going to kill Lord Cannon for me.

Seek him at Cannon's Inferno to the southeast.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dragon, UnchainedTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    Lirastrasza is the last and greatest of the red dragons that the Twilight's Hammer captured. They're about to kill her, <class>. You need to take the Elementium Axe and free her from her bonds before they do.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Coup de GraceTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    Look at that. Lirastrasza's destroying them! There are drakes that she's downing that need finishing off, <name>. Wouldn't want the Twilight's healers to get them back up into the air. Time for a little Coup de Grace.
