Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Ice and ShadowLevel 40-90

  We took down one of the Necrodark. Ebonhorn found that it held a shard of ice infused with shadow essence. Perhaps the villains are using these shards as a kind of talisman. I suggest you deprive them of their trinkets.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Whispers of the DarknessLevel 40-90

  Before our arrival, many of our own came to neutralize the threat here. They did not know what they were walking into. Our people are now suffering from the whispers. The Old Gods seek to corrupt them and turn them against their own. Wake them from their stupor.
