Yes, if you hover over the Guardians of the Dream Campaign note at the top of your quest log, it shows your progress and how many of the 7 chapters you've completed. As of today, day of release, it also says "Return later to aid Merithra in defending the Emerald Dream."

That is every comment on this page.

Where to go

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Power, Eruption, and LiesEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    Buri told me that Lethka plans to ignite Cinder Summit, and Vyranoth pursued her. Lethka revealed herself because she knew that Vyranoth would go after her. The power in Cinder Summit can destroy this barrier, or Vyranoth. We have to go after them.
