Quest name could be a reference to the line "Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania" from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

What to do
Description
I used to practice what I would say when I saw my brother again. Then I stopped believing I would... He's been away all this time, and now he comes to ask for heirlooms? I dug our mother's grave beside her favorite tree. Alone. He should have come back then, I don't have time to help him ease his conscience now. If you two are so set on talking, at least have the sense not to do it in the open. Come to my camp--we'll speak there.
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.
- Clearing the Dunes
The deserts here were never safe, but there was still beauty--birdsong, herds of animals, and the desert would bloom from horizon to horizon after a storm. Now it's a wasteland. I barely took two steps off the docks before being chased by some monster. I need to get out there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Friendly Warning
Before the Devouring, the Sufaadi were priests. There were customs of courtesy and charity. Those were erased with the rest of K'aresh. If the Wastelanders think I won't retaliate, they'll never stop targeting me. I think you understand the value of a show of force.
