Description

The Bloodclaw are sadistic creatures. They have attacked the Ravenskar before and have stolen the eggs of the sacred ravens. While you are within the Bloodclaw lands keep an eye out for the eggs. I'll be waiting for you at the nest with as many baskets for them as I can gather.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The BloodmaneSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    We had just arrived and begun the service of the headless fowl when the Bloodmane attacked out of nowhere. Clearly, this means that the Raven Mother wishes to test the worthiness of her children. Fear not, we are steadfast and will fervently continue our prayers regardless of what may come!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ralshiara's DemiseSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    It was said in the Journal of the Rising Sun that eating in the mornings cannot be done without harming a few eggs. The Bloodmane matron, Ralshiara, feasts upon sacred raven eggs for her snacks. How dare she! She must die for her sins!
