Description

It's time to pack it in, {name}. Most of our people have made it through -- it's your turn now. Take this torch, you're going to need it. The tunnel is full of nasty, knee-biting critters of the worst kind. Use it to keep them at bay. Speak to Krennan on the other side.

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.

  • Slowing the InevitableGilneas · Level 1-20

    As much as I want to exact swift and brutal revenge... I must honor my son's memory first. He cared for his people first and foremost. The Undertaker's Pass goes underground below Northgate River.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Laid to RestGilneas · Level 1-20

    In our hurried escape for safety, we disturbed the resting homes of our ancestors, <name>. A grave sin, if you'll pardon the pun. It is tradition that a small memento be buried on top of a Gilnean's graveyard, beneath the shallow earth.
