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.

  • Karuk's OathBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    They call themselves the Kvaldir. My people have legends about them; we call them the tuk-hariq - walkers of the fog. My village was destroyed by these giant mist-men. Everyone I knew was slain, including my father Ariut. By tuskarr law I must seek retribution against those who shed my kin's blood.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Father's WordsBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    There is someone who might shed light on this mystery, <race>. It is rumored that the Kvaldir have kept a naga priestess alive at the temple on the west side of the shore. She will no doubt have great reason to resent her uninvited Kvaldir guests.
