For those interested in and / or looking for the pop culture reference: ''Tears for Fears are an English pop rock band formed in Bath in 1981 by Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, Tears for Fears were associated with the synth-pop bands of the 1980s, and attained international chart success as part of the Second British Invasion.''

Every Kobyss Wants to Rule the World.
It peaked to groan-worthy levels in Cataclysm with the Duran Duran gang, but when used sparingly, I'll never tire of goofy quest names like this.

What to do
Description
It seems Velhan and his followers hoped they could live in peace here. They were so sure they could, in fact, that they didn't bring any weapons with them. This is a problem, with the kobyss attacking now, but the kobyss can actually solve it for us. They've brought plenty of spears for their siege on Velhan's Claim, and a spear will skewer a kobyss just as well as a human. Head out there and gather some spears for the people, {name}, and they won't have to be so afraid.

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.
- Situational Awareness
Regardless of what history Taenar and Velhan have between them, we need to take care of the people here at Velhan's Claim. <name>, will you please check in with the families here? Let them know we're here to help. See if they're worried or need anything.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reclaiming Velhan's Claim
The problem I see, <name>, is the kobyss. There's just so many of them. Everyone here was serving in the Empire's military when we arrived in Hallowfall. They may be rusty now, but they've all trained before, and know how to be dangerous.
