Description

A Defias attack. The theft of tar and torches. A group called the Red Dawn recruiting here in the heart of the Highlands... Stromgarde was right to send a missive asking for my return. What is going on here? I placed Colonel Nials in charge after Marran's foolishness led to her imprisonment. I must head to Stromgarde and speak with Nials immediately.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Emblematic of Things to ComeArathi Highlands · Level 80

    <This Defias bandit was carrying a badge with an unfamiliar emblem. The emblem looks like a rising sun with long rays emanating from it. The sun and rays are colored red. Perhaps Danath can identify it.>

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Curfew KerfuffleArathi Highlands · Level 80

    I'm glad for your help. Between deployments to Khaz Algar, responding to threats in the Highlands, and desertion, we simply don't have enough soldiers to enforce order. Marran's supporters are causing trouble throughout the city. They're stealing supplies, harassing people--you name it.
