In the follow-up quest, you will to go up the ramp and listen to Thalya and Trevellion.

Hunters and Warlocks, I highly advise you dismiss you pet while doing this as you pet doesn't prowl with you. (Unless it has prowl)
Faceless ones can see stealth.
Edit: Aspect of the Cheetah Increases prowl speed.Edit: I can no longer confirm how Aspect of the Cheetah interacts with this quest.

Description
To the southwest lies the corpse of a being somehow related to the Old Gods that the Twilight's Hammer cultists worship. He was defeated before our time -- if not by the Titans themselves, certainly by one of their creations. We've noted an increase in cult activity in that area which can only mean something terrible is amiss. We're going to need to find out what they're planning to do there and why. Take this figurine, it'll help you avoid being detected while you gather intelligence.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Eye of All Storms
Twilight riders circle the skies above the vortex. I fear it is their magic that has kept the cataclysmic forces from being contained by our efforts. Take to the skies with Thessera and destroy the riders and the portal from whence they came.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Consumed
My first concern right now is for the thistle bear families who call what's left of these woods home. Just to our south, beyond the bear shrine, an entire generation has fallen ill. Gruesomely ill. <name>, I don't know what they're suffering from, but it's consumed them from within.
