Description
I am glad you're here, {name}. The storms have cleared and the creches are open. Now is the time to strike! I'm leading a team of scouts further into the Reach. When you're ready to depart, speak with Talon Damos. He's acting as my second-in-command. The dracthyr he leads will be accompanying us on our next reconnaissance mission.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to the Reach
Long ago, the Reach was our training ground. Now it's time to return. The island may still hold secrets from our past. Scalecommander Emberthal has gone on ahead. She awaits the arrival of any who would lend us their aid. We'll need all the help we can get finding a foothold in the Reach.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Inheritance
Glad you could make it, soldier. <Damos gives you a sardonic salute.> This is surreal. We're back in a place we knew long ago. Now it's in ruins. And it's crawling with all kinds of new wildlife. I guess it's true what they say. You can never go home again. Enough talking. Time to work.
