Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Excavation: Winglord's PerchLevel 70

  We've discovered an ancient fishing village in the Forbidden Reach! It's this humble isle off the northwest coast with its own crumbling bridge and everything! I'll be there if you're looking for more dirt to dig up!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• The Cache in the CragLevel 70

  <This barrel is salt-encrusted and buried amongst the rubble but remarkably intact. It looks like the sort of mundane cache that villagers would use to store goods, but no one has lived here for thousands of years. Could there still be something inside? Roska will want to have a look at this!>
