Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Loa-Free DietNazmir · Level 20-60

    Princess Talanji thinks we're almost ready to kill this herald of G'huun. Maybe she's right, maybe we're all dead, who knows? What I do know is the blood trolls here are... are carving and carrying away parts of Torga. Ugh!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crushing the SkullcrushersNazmir · Level 20-60

    Look, <name>, I'll be happy once we've killed this herald and we can have things go back to normal. Until then, you need to deal with these monstrous blood trolls called "skullcrushers". Lovely, right?
