This quest along with all the others on the ship currently having a rather annoying bug. When you use a AOE spell, Like a DK's Howling blast, it will affect and engage everything within range, regardless of what level below or above it is. Resulting in rather heavy pulls.

Description

This depravity goes against every oath we take as tidesages. To protect our people... to guide and sustain them... to make our ships strong. This is nothing but darkness. It must all be destroyed. Board the Abyssal Melody and place these focusing rods at any critical points you find. I will prepare the ritual.

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.

  • From the Maw of MadnessStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    Sam is still out there somewhere. We can't just leave him to die! If he wasn't in the assembly yard, he must be on that ship. You have to find him!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Storm's VengeanceStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    I know not what horrors await us ahead, but the Abyssal Melody must never follow its sister into the Shrine of the Storm. We will deny these monsters all that they have wrought here by burning it with the very magic they seek to corrupt. The ritual is ready, but requires a conduit to stabilize.

The storyline at a glance

A House in Peril has 43 steps, from The Missing Fleet to A New Dawn.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Stormsong Valley (38), Tiragarde Sound (4), Shrine of the Storm (1).
