What to do
Description
Queen Ansurek has been busy since the assassination attempt. Her grip is tightening on Azj-Kahet and her ever loyal nobles attend to her darkest whims. On behest of the Queen, her two most loyal nobles Skeinspinner Takazj and Anub'arash, have locked down the Umbral Bazaar. Takazj's insufferable propaganda machinations and Anub'arash's increased military presence have painted a clear picture, ascend or die. I need you to go to the Umbral Bazaar and disrupt their hold.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Our Chance to Strike
<The child-like spider presents you with a sealed scroll. The sealed letter bears the markings of the Vizier.> The balance of power is shifting in Azj-Kahet. The Queen grows more unstable by the day and I fear we must act before our opportunity to stop her slips from our grasp.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Spy Like Us
Distressing news comes from the Burrows, a sinister plan is unfolding in the gutters below. Citizens of the ward have been disappearing at an alarming rate. Skeinspinner Takazj and Anub'arash have all the subtlety of a hammer. I doubt it is their work. This is the hand of someone more subtle.
