Description

<name>, the people of Velhan's Claim have been locked up inside, afraid of the dark, for too long.

And there's plenty to fear out there, but these are capable, strong people. They should be driving the kobyss away, not hiding behind their walls.

Get these spears to the people of Velhan's Claim. They've learned to hide from their problems, but we'll give them the means to take their lives back!

Proverb:

''Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime''

ie: It is more worthwhile to teach someone to do something (for themselves) than to do it for them (on an ongoing basis).

The origin(s) of these words of wisdom are seemingly highly contested and have been attributed to many.

Sadly, this poster could find no definitive source.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Reclaiming Velhan's ClaimHallowfall · Level 75-78

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crash RecoveryHallowfall · Level 75-78

    A lot of things went wrong when the Indomitable crashed, <name>. But the most upsetting one is that--when the order was finally given to make our way back to Mereldar, we couldn't honor our fallen comrades.
