What to do
Description
We dealt a heavy blow to the nerubians. But Baelgrim... <Adelgonn pauses to compose herself.> He was infuriatingly rigid and we argued ceaselessly, but in the end... he was a defender of our people--all of them. Baelgrim sacrificed himself to vouchsafe the Isle of Dorn from the nerubians. Everyone needs to know that--and we can't let the nerubians force our hand like that again. Go back to Merrix in Dornogal. Tell him we will come soon. We just... need a moment here.
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.
- Bring the Thunder
The nerubians will strike out in anger and pride--which is exactly what we want. They will swarm the meadery soon, seeking to punish us for attacking their burrow. We will hold them here on the ground while you take to the skies. When Zirix appears to command his army, we will light the fuses.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Recompense
We heard the echo of the explosion from here. I presume you have found victory, but your solitary arrival suggests not all is well. What happened?
