Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Surrounded!Borean Tundra · Level 10-30

  Our situation is nearly hopeless. We were ordered to take the Wailing Ziggurat with a handful of men. We'll be lucky if we can hold this position against the Scourge. We're outnumbered, injured and have no escape route.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Finding the PhylacteryBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

  No time for small talk, <name>. I was sent on what was to be a suicide mission to take this ziggurat. I've accomplished my duty as a soldier, now is the time to get some answers. This lich has knowledge I seek, yet I cannot inflict pain to his physical body to obtain that knowledge.
