Its not immediately obvious whats going on here. The earthen that help you form a squad that you can command. They can earth shield themsleves, nuke mobs, root and shoot fireballs. Their commands appear on a pet bar and anything you tell them to do, the entire squad does. Best pet ever.

Once you complete this and Loken's Lackeys it opens up: The Reckoning

What to do

StorylineThe Storm Peaks, step 111 of 113

Description

For years I neglected my duties, giving into defeat and self-pity. Not the brave earthen, however. Their oath to protect these grounds with their lives has gone unbroken. Even now, they fight the corruption of iron with selflessness, waiting for the moment in which the tides turn. That moment has arrived. We must rally what remains of the earthen defenders and lead them into a glorious victory. Sound the Horn of the Peaks to call them to your side and take back the Terrace of the Makers.

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.

  • The Terrace of the MakersThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    It is time, <name>. I am prepared to face Loken now. Let us make our way to the Terrace of the Makers and face my brother's forces. The fool will regret ever crossing me.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Loken's LackeysThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    The attack on the Terrace of the Makers was not a half-hearted move on my brother's behalf. He sent a legion of iron dwarves and some of his most powerful lieutenants. Use the Horn of the Peaks to call the earthen to your side and defeat Loken's servants.
