Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Eye of Twilight
The ogre clan across the lake is led by Gar'gol. I use the term loosely; Gar'gol has the intelligence of raw beef. So far as I can tell, Gar'gol is taking orders from a magical instrument: "The Eye of Twilight." He follows its commands unquestioningly.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Elementary!
<You can't read the text, but diagrams seem to indicate that the devices around you should be activated in a set order.> <One passage of the Apocrypha has been translated to modern text:> In the beginning was shadow eternal. Hate blazed forth, and FIRE was born. Wounds scabbed, and so begat EARTH.
