<The Bravo Company field kit vibrates.>

Good work, kid. I've got some vital intel for you. The magus in the tower is a human named Doane. Damned traitor is working for the Blackrock orcs. I want him dead.

Use the key of Ilgalar and get inside that tower. Work your way to the top and show Doane what Bravo Company does with traitors.

Rendezvous back at Shalewind Canyon when the deed is done.

Keeshan, over and out.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Dark TowerRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    We got lucky with some vital intelligence from the locals of this valley. Those two behind us, the Ranthals, have informed me that the gnolls in Galardell Valley are being controlled by a powerful magus in the tower of Ilgalar. The problem is that the tower is sealed by a magical force field.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!!!Redridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    I'm here to help you and Bravo Company end this mess. You're to get in the Bravo Company siege tank and clear a path to Keeshan's Post on the other side of the valley, north of here.
