Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Citadel of LoyaltyLevel 60

    The medallions, the source of magic the crown focuses, are still bent to the will of Denathrius. Forge cannot solve this. Citadel of Loyalty can. Taken over by the Forsworn in recent times. If we can get the crown to the temple, we can break the loyalty to the medallion's former master.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DisloyaltyLevel 60

    There are many enemies of Bastion here. If we thin their numbers, it will further mend the tension between our realms. Show no remorse. I will take to the skies to support from above. I will be able to provide ground support when needed.
