What to do
Description
While we're here, I must find out what happened to my old friend, Ryton Blackholme. He was Hallowfall's finest blacksmith--and he was taken in a surprise nerubian attack. I could not save him. I searched for him, but found nothing except for his bloodied helm. I'd given up hope. But recently, I heard rumor about a blacksmith from a survivor who'd been pulled down off the Aegis Wall. Could it be Ryton? Will you help me, {name}?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- BOOM Treats!
If we're gonna stop this invasion, we need to take out their big guns. In this case, big guns equals ballistae. Remember how I had ya pick up them Betelsnax? Yeah, I didn't do that for no good reason. See, the nerubians here have their beetles haul their bombs.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Invasion Disruption
While we cannot eliminate the nerubian threat here, we can disrupt their invasion plans. There are any number of opportunities to accomplish our goal. Let's see what kind of damage we can do.
