Forcing My Hand

Forcing My Hand is a quest for level 70-73 in Isle of Dorn. It is step 15 of 16 in the Merrix and Steelvein storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Isle of Dorn at 51.1, 33.7. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

I do not know if Ardgrin merely intended to sabotage me or if he wanted to force a confrontation. Either way, a confrontation he will have.

I believe this situation can be rectified peacefully, but I cannot do it as the Councilward. Steelvein has never appeared in the stone, but he must now. I will parlay with Ardgrin in the Deeps and this situation will be concluded.

I would have you accompany me, but there are some things I want you to know before that. Help me prepare and I will speak with you.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dispelling RumorsIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    Many of my peacekeepers have already caught wind of Ardgrin's sedition. I am told some are losing faith in my integrity as Councilward, believing that I have been taking bribes from smugglers to bolster my own coffers.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bad BusinessIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    I have not been to the Deeps since their machines shut down. Obstorn will have to guide us to Ardgrin's depot. Once there, I will attempt a conversation. If Ardgrin is not amenable, which I suspect will be the case, we will respond with equal force.
