Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• The Wondrous BloodsporeBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

  We are witnessing something amazing here, <race>. A whole undiscovered ecology lives and breathes not more than a few paces from us! I surmise it is the bloodspore plant that sets this environment abuzz.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Karuk's OathBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

  They call themselves the Kvaldir. My people have legends about them; we call them the tuk-hariq - walkers of the fog. My village was destroyed by these giant mist-men. Everyone I knew was slain, including my father Ariut. By tuskarr law I must seek retribution against those who shed my kin's blood.
