Description

Well our lines are doing a lot better, thanks to you. A good thing too, because we need the rest! That being said, we noticed a big group of bigger, meaner risen coming from the farmstead. They would've given us a hard time, but that Shadowsong fellow has returned and killed them all. He's holding off reinforcements coming from the hold. I'm guessing he could use a hand. We can hold here until you and Shadowsong sort this out.

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.

  • Quieting the SpiritsLevel 45

    An overwhelming attack on Bradensbrook is imminent. Together I believe we can blunt the spear before it is cast. While we are dealing with the commanders, we should put down as many unquiet spirits as we can.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cutting off the HeadsLevel 45

    Erdris Thorn was a key commander of Ravencrest's forces. To hear him confusing us for the Legion fills me with a great sadness. He will be a difficult foe to defeat. We must stop his squad leaders from forming up for a focused assault on Bradensbrook.
