Description
You aren't going to believe what I saw! Two mantid fighting each other, whipping some serious magic back and forth. One of them didn't look like any mantid I've ever seen. Completely different color and dress to him, like some kind of... oracle or something. The other one was a total psycho, splashing sha energy around like it was a keg of Stormstout Special. Look, I gotta get back to my post, but those two are still fighting in the cave behind me and I have a feeling it's a big deal. Check it out?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nope
We're holding, but just barely. Anything you can do to stem the tide of dreadspinners coming up the wall would be a big help. Feel like tearing open spider eggs one at a time by hand? I didn't think so. Take one of our dragon guns and light it up down there. I wanna hear those puppies pop.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Preserved in Amber
Take... this... <The dying mantid struggles to outstretch his arm. In his mangled grasp rests a metal fork with two long, thin prongs and an ornately jeweled handle.> Awaken... the Wind-Reaver... It is the only way... to end the swarm.
