Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Attune the BloodstoneBlasted Lands · Level 15-30

  Did you have fun fighting your way to the back of this cave? I admit, I haven't picked the most... convenient of spots to perform my studies, especially for passing adventurers who wish to enter and leave at will. However, I can allow you to attune yourself to my bloodstone teleporters.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Blood RitualBlasted Lands · Level 15-30

  I suppose you want to know what we're doing. Here's the short version - a version at which I happen to be an expert: The Shadowsworn cultists wish to summon the demon, Razelikh, back to the Blasted Lands. We cannot allow this to happen. So we're going to summon him ourselves, and then kill him.
