Don't be an idiot like me and not realize the Horn is on your Extra Abilities box. I ran around looking for the horn in each spot, double checked my inventory. Then i realized .. oh, look ... a big shiny button with a horn on it! D'oh!

TL:DNR - The Horn needed to blow is on Extra Ability bar.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Once Bitten Twice ShyArathi Highlands · Level 80

    I caught a glimpse of who was leading the attack. It looks like Joseph the Enlightened may be less full of hot air than we thought he was. Is he now part of the Syndicate? I thought he was part of the "Crusade." I suppose it doesn't matter. If we want to stop the attack, we'll have to take him out.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Danath's DisappearanceArathi Highlands · Level 80

    My outriders discovered a destroyed caravan on the road. Around it were the bodies of Stromic soldiers. It could be Danath's escort. Or it could be another hapless group. Either way, we must investigate. Let us hope Danath is not among the dead.
