Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Big Game, Big BaitDeepholm · Level 30-35

    We're only going to get one shot at capturing Abyssion, <name>. Let's make it count. We'll test out the trap on the biggest of the stone dragons in the Alabaster Shelf. To lure the stone matriarch, we're going to need to gather sufficient bait. Take this knife and carve 5 sides of basilisk meat.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Abyssion's MinionsDeepholm · Level 30-35

    If it's the dragon that's got the fragment, we're going to need to draw his attention back to his den. Go to Abyssion's Lair just east of here and defeat his underlings. That should get him to show up with the World Pillar fragment sooner or later.
