Description

Do you remember our greeting, <name>?

"Shadows gather when the raven swallows the day."

It is more than an old verse - it is a call to action. Followers of the old ways are gathering, and I must join them. You are needed, too, I should think

Follow this road down to Crow's Crook. There you will find the home of an old crone. Greet her as you greeted me, and she will guide the way.

You will not see me, but I will be close behind.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Orders From On HighSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    The Adherents of Rukhmar are the ruling body atop the spires. Their influence is absolute. Their proclamations taken as the will of Rukhmar Herself. The herald leading this purge is surely carrying out such orders - likely no more than a list of names and places they plan to erase.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Charming DeceptionSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Reshad is more than he appears; a mottled old crow with his beak in a book, certainly, but we need him. Shadows gather beneath the lonely spire, in Veil Terokk. Reshad must make it there safely. Along the path you'll find charms primed with illusion spells.

Shadows Gather has 10 steps, from The Shadows of Skettis to A Gathering of Shadows.
