Description

Traitors, the lot! You're looking at the last bastion of forces still loyal to Admiral Taylor and the Alliance. I'll be damned if the defectors get away clean. You look like you're ready. Show them how we deal with their kind during times of war.

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.

  • Second in CommandSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Wait... I remember something else. Sir Edward... he was shouting... looking for someone. I... I can't remember who. There were so many screams...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Prime the CannonsSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    The armory is lost to the traitors. All we have left are these few cannons with no ammunition. Soldier, I need you to recover cannonballs so we can get these things running. Actually, one more cannon wouldn't hurt, either.
