Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Lieutenant Paval ReetheDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

  A glint of light on the ground catches your eye from underneath the rubble. Brushing debris and ash caked onto the object reveals the insignia of a gold anchor on white, enameled on the surface: the sign of Theramore. Underneath the anchor is embossed the name "Lieutenant Paval Reethe".

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Talk to OgronDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

  I know this human, Paval Reethe. Pathetic, even for his kind. He deserted his fellow soldiers and is now hiding out in the woods. I sent Ogron out to track him down. Some of the others suspect he's been stealing from our supplies. I think I saw Ogron heading off to the southeast.
