Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Battle of the Forge
Our troops are armed - the time to strike is now! Strike swift and true, <name>!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Shadow of the Worldbreaker
Looks like we'll soon have another obstacle in our way: that ridiculously large tank that they have pointed at the Dark Portal. The Iron Worldbreaker, I think they call it. If I had some documentation on how it might work, then I might be able to figure out how to shut it down.
