What to do
Description
The military was all that old man Colburn had. After he retired, he still clung to it like a lifeline. He knows the name of every general, unit, brigade, detachment... you name it. He's the man you need. Problem is, his mind is scarred. He won't talk to anyone unless he gets his Kul Tiras wine. Takes him back to the times he was a marine. I haven't received a shipment in months. The last merchant ship out of Kul Tiras sunk northeast of here. See if you can salvage a bottle to bring Colburn.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lost and Found
Poor Mr. Allerton might yet help us find my brother. <Leryssa unveils a voluminous book, not unlike an army recruitment ledger.> I borrowed it, ok? Let's see, does that enlistment card have a date? William saw Thassarian at the enlistment line. Their entries must be near each other... here it is!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Deserter
Unit S... Unit S.... hmmmpph.... don't make any sense... it oughta be named after a town... Darkshire was sent to Dragonblight. The Goldshire boys were sent to the Fjord. Where did I hear... Oh, yes... the deserter! There's a turn-tail in the barracks prison. Got thrown in not too long ago.
