If you're like me and simply ran through the tunnel without realizing that you had to scare a bunch of vermin, you will need to find your way back to the tunnel. This was pretty much impossible for me because I was constantly in combat in the main square. I needed to hearthstone out and then find my way back. Once I did that, I easily found the correct entrance (because I could fly), which is at 56, 53.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Aderic's RetortLevel 70

    The scouts report that the Scarlet Crusade at Aderic's Repose are being encouraged to tamper with the graves of my people by one Scarlet in particular. Too many Gilneans gave their lives defending this land. I will not let their sacrifice be... defiled in this manner!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scarlet BloodLevel 70

    Looks like they've filled the city with their most experienced forces. Don't worry, I have plenty of experience taking them down... personally. We'll whittle their numbers down one by one.
