Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • NullifiedSuramar · Level 45

    The magus in charge of the defenses here is powerful. Perhaps too strong, even for the both of us. Fortunately, the sin'dorei know a thing or two about magic. The mage's barrier is strong, but we are clever.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Break An ArmSuramar · Level 45

    The insurgents you marshaled gave me some bad news, <name>. The arcanists loyal to Elisande have reactivated the Arm of the Magistrix. The most powerful construct ever attempted, it raged out of control and decimated an entire district before it was disabled.
