Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Excavation: RiverbedLevel 70

    There's a Riverbed near Maruukai in Ohn'ahran Plains that's teeming with local lore about a lost caravan! Meet me there as quick as you can! And wear your best, old, mud-ready boots!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Body on the BanksLevel 70

    <The state of the corpse of this centaur woman is surprising. Her clothing is in a style unfamiliar to you, and her skin is emblazoned with intricate tattoos. Her body is intact, so it seems as though she could not have been dead long... or could she?
