Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Beast Mastery: Rumblings Near FeltotemLevel 45

    The Highmountain have passed along a dire warning from their drogbar allies. The Feltotem are spreading their demonic corruption into the wildlife around them, infecting the land itself. We believe this is something that should be looked into sooner rather than later.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Tainted MarshLevel 45

    I wasn't able to scout inside the village yet, however, there are more dangerous experiments going on to the south. They were befouling the unquiet spirits in the marshlands with more fel magic! I will rework this fel totem to draw out the fel energies they infused in those spirits.

The storyline at a glance

The Fel Worm Menace has 11 steps, from Destruction: Rumblings Near Feltotem to A Gift From the Six.
