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 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.

  • Our Chance to StrikeAzj-Kahet · Level 75-90

    <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 UsAzj-Kahet · Level 75-90

    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.
