Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Heart On FireShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    We have the shards, but now they must be combined. There's a forge here, but even its fires aren't hot enough for our purposes. However, there is a demon nearby that burns hot as the sun. Gul'dan, or perhaps Razuun, has managed to summon an infernal.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Catch a ShadowShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    Gul'dan is on the Shadow Rise just up the hill to the west. But, you must hurry, <name>. We know that he's about to leave for Talador and Frostfire Ridge. The use of the soul trap is straightforward. Simply point and shoot to ensnare Gul'dan. The crystal will take care of the rest.
