Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Powering the DefensesTalador · Level 20-40

    What few soulpriests we don't have on the front lines are working fervently to maintain Auchindoun's defenses. They aren't going to be able to keep it up much longer alone. Soulbinder Tuulani went inside the nearby Tomb of Lights to retrieve a backup power pylon and hasn't returned.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • We Must Construct Additional PylonsTalador · Level 20-40

    We came here to retrieve a reserve pylon to power Auchindoun's defenses, but we've been pinned to this position by the Shadow Council for hours! I need to get these injured back to Exarch's Refuge, but we still need the backup system!

In the Shadows of Auchindoun has 24 steps, from Holding the Line to Together We Are Strong.
