  • A Foot in the DoorTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    <Lord Taran immediately pins you down with his steely gaze.> <class>, you bear the marks of many a past battle. Good! We need more seasoned people like you to hold back the front. We've managed to secure a foothold here, but the yaungol are desperate to remove our presence.

After this quest

  • Running RampantTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    There is one thing that every army needs, and that is a supply line. The enemy camp to the west contains a large beast herd, which serves as the yaungol army's main source of food. Luckily for us, the yaks and mushan beasts of this region are easily scared.
