Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • JorgensenRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    I don't know where Krakauer or Danforth are, but Jorgensen was being held at Render's Camp, northwest of here. I was in the same crap filled cage with him before they relocated me to Alther's Mill. If we're gonna get him out we'll need the key.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • And Last But Not Least... DanforthRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    Danforth's being tortured on the other side of the cave. There's no telling what state he's in by now! We need to get over there and save him! Overlord Barbarius has the key to the lever holding Danforth up. We work together as a team and we can kill that bastard, Barbarius.
