I found this quest very graphic and disturbing.

Man, some quests in WoD are really dark.

Actually the body piles have low texture quality so I would say (puts on shades) "very low-graphic and disturbing"

Description

<The note is scrawled hurriedly across the parchment.> Telmor is lost. The Shadow Council is dragging our fallen into piles and feeding the souls to their leader. There is blood on my hands... Please, if anyone reads this message, burn the bodies of our fallen so our enemy cannot use them. - Restalaan, Captain of the Guard

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

PaybackTalador · Level 20-40
We thought we were safe behind Leafshadow's cloaking veil. <Vindicator Kaluud wipes the blood from his face.> Someone told the Shadow Council's forces how to disable it. We were able to hold them off at first... Most of the town was slaughtered in the attack. Please, you must avenge our fallen.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Never ForgetTalador · Level 20-40
We had to escape Telmor with what few we could save. Someone disabled Leafshadow's cloaking field; I know not who, but I suspect it had to have been one of our own. We will retrieve our livelihoods in time, but we cannot risk losing our sacred artifacts.
