Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Undersea SanctuaryKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    I believe I've located the author of your note, friend. It would seem that he is in desperate need of attention if he is to survive. I shall attune one of my scrying orbs, that you might see him for yourself.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DebriefingKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    This soldier was near death, but I fear we do not have the time to await his full recovery. He has information we desperately need to know. Be patient with him, but keep him talking until we've learned all that we can. With luck we might discover just what we're up against...
