When doing this quest a short cut-scene starts:

King Genn Greymane says: May the Light bless the spirits of our ancestors, for they've chosen to allow my son to rest upon this holy ground.
King Genn Greymane says: It is there, surrounded by the heroes and patriots of Gilneas where he belongs.
Lorna Crowley says: You were a true man of the people, Liam. Unlike any Royal I ever met. We'll make them pay for this.
Lord Darius Crowley says: Gilneas will remember your courage forever, Liam.
King Genn Greymane says: We'll return, Liam. I swear this to you.

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.

  • Laid to RestGilneas · Level 1-20

    In our hurried escape for safety, we disturbed the resting homes of our ancestors, <name>. A grave sin, if you'll pardon the pun. It is tradition that a small memento be buried on top of a Gilnean's graveyard, beneath the shallow earth.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keel HarborGilneas · Level 1-20

    We might've lost our city, but at least it looks like the dead have forgiven us. Meet with the rest of the survivors in Keel Harbor. I'm sure there's plenty to do before we're in the clear. Genn hasn't arrived yet, so I suppose Lord Crowley will be in charge there.

The storyline at a glance

Gilneas has 100 steps, from Lockdown! to Rut'theran Village.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Gilneas (89), Gilneas City (11).
