Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Purge the Totems
The harpies have placed vile totems throughout the area to attain more power. We must destroy those totems in order to debilitate our foes. Take this torch and burn any totems you see. It is wise to weaken one's enemy before the fight even begins.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Westward Bound
Thrall wants us to search west of here for the site of the next ritual. We could use your help. I've already died once. It's not an experience I'd care to repeat.
