Description

Things are starting to feel familiar. I think I know the way back to my village. I should tell you... I'm not just looking for my sister. Our mother died when I was studying in the cities. Shahata buried her under her favorite tree, but I wasn't there. I swore I would come home to conduct the funeral rites, but I didn't make it in time. I have left my oath unfulfilled for far too long. I owe it to mother to at least try now. Come--let's search the village.

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.

  • Bridge to NowhereK'aresh · Level 80

    Are you heading to the dunes? I'm looking for my sister, Shahata. I don't know if she's alive, but I have to find her. The only place I can think to start the search is our village. K'aresh is nothing like I remember. I need landmarks--anything I can recognize to navigate by.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Clearing the DunesK'aresh · Level 80

    The deserts here were never safe, but there was still beauty--birdsong, herds of animals, and the desert would bloom from horizon to horizon after a storm. Now it's a wasteland. I barely took two steps off the docks before being chased by some monster. I need to get out there.
