Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The New Clessington Estate
Excellent, <name>. Finally, something we can work with. Count Clessington is a member of the House of Nobles and a powerful mage. He has fallen on hard times since Anduin cracked down on corruption in Stormwind. I would not put it past him to have something to do with this.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Hungry Heritage
It's been a while since I've been home. Something isn't right. My people should be here. I'm going in... but I won't turn down some back up. ... I never should've left for so long.
