Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• It's All Fun and GamesIcecrown · Level 25-30

  The Knights of the Ebon Blade want to take the Scourge base known as The Shadow Vault to the northwest. I have a contact in their group who has asked for help. The first step is to blind the Lich King. He's using a device known as The Ocular to watch the area, which floats above the vault's spires.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Free Your MindIcecrown · Level 25-30

  Vile, Lady Nightswood, and The Leaper would make excellent weapons in the fight against the Lich King if they can be broken from his will. That is what the Sovereign Rod is for. You'll find them on the ledges to the east and west of the vault, as well as on the mid-tier of the vault above us.
