Description

I will take command of Fareeya's lieutenants and we will escort Velen to the Crest of Knowledge. His mission must not fail.

We face an old foe-- one the Army of the Light has encountered on numerous occasions. Talgath will try to block us in and prevent our retreat.

You must not let that happen. Find out how he is bringing in his forces and cut them off. All we need is time to get in and get out.

We are counting on you.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Overt OpsEredath · Level 45

    My soldiers are out there, <name>. I need you to find Baraat, Sorvos, and Telaamon. They were in the process of securing this area for Velen when the Legion came down on top of our heads. Inform them that their orders are to regroup with the Prophet at once. The time for subtlety has passed.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Talgath's ForcesEredath · Level 45

    I must continue to seek the Crest of Knowledge, my friend. Nothing short of the whole Crown of the Triumvirate can turn the tide in the battle we face. Talgath's forces stand between us and that goal. I will need you to clear a path. We can let nothing stand in our way. Not even Talgath.

The storyline at a glance

Across the Universe has 9 steps, from We Have a Problem to Shadow of the Triumvirate.
