Description
{class}, you're here to help, right? I've got new orders for our forces that are currently deployed at the Drakkari altar to the north. You can't miss it. Just head straight up the avenue. Sergeant Stackhammer shouldn't be hard to find.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lab Work
I assume by your interruption that you wish to be numbered among those I am considering for apprenticeship. A worthy aspiration... Should I someday choose to accept your petition, I must be confident that you can find your way around my laboratory.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trouble at the Altar of Sseratus
There's trouble at the altar of the snake god. The presence of the Scourge has weakened the land, <race>. This in turn has weakened the wild gods. We know that the Drakkari are taking advantage of this to do evil things to the gods. I need you to be my eyes and ears.
