Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• To Track a ThiefNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

  Animal tracks surround the wreckage, tracks made by enormous curved claws. They appear to be raptor tracks. Your first instinct is that raptor-riders assaulted the caravan, but the impressions aren't deep and there are no non-animal tracks to be seen.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• The Stolen SilverNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

  It's clear that these raptors acted alone to steal the Horde's silver. It's time to teach these beasts a lesson.
