Description

Based on your discoveries I suspect the Primalists are attacking Commander Eranog's Garrison at South Hold. But, my Scalesworn cannot leave the city as that would be exactly what the Primalists are hoping for.

I need your help again, <name>.

Travel to South Hold, see what kind of forces we are facing, and if possible make contact with the garrison guardians there.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eyes and EarsThaldraszus · Level 40-70

    The Primalists have been spewing their propaganda among the citizens of Valdrakken. Our enemies are too wily to say anything in the presence of my Scalesworn, but perhaps you might be able to get close enough to eavesdrop on their conversations.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Vengeance, Served HotThaldraszus · Level 40-70

    The Primalists caught us completely unawares. <Velomir spits in disgust.> My fellow guardians were ripped apart by these monsters. I would have joined them in death if you had not shown up when you did. Off in the distance I can still hear the sounds of battle.

The storyline at a glance

Valdrakken, City of Dragons has 14 steps, from To Valdrakken to Reporting In.
