Here is the script of the cinematic for those who couldn't see it entirely :

Phaoris : On the matter of war against the rebel tribe of Ramkahen... has each member of the High Council reached a decision?
Kamses : Yes, your majesty. The Sword of Ramkahen casts its vote in favor of war. Your armies are standing at the ready.
Tanotep : The Voice of Ramkahen casts its vote in favor of war as well.
Amet : The Faith of Ramkahen... abstains.
Amet : In my visions, negotiations with the enemy brought our people fleeting peace... followed by terrible betrayal and destruction.
Amet : But war, waged by a leader reluctantly following protocol, brought an even swifter demise to our nation.
Amet : Only one vision offered a faint glimmer of hope. And in that vision... the High Council did not make this decision for you, Phaoris.
Ramkahen Envoy : My liege, a skirmish along the Neferset border just occurred. A patrol led by your brother was involved...
Ramkahen Envoy : He's been... mortally wounded, sir.
Phaoris : Nadun...
Phaoris : Commander. Move all forward regiments westward.
Phaoris : We attack Neferset city at first light.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Pit of ScalesUldum · Level 30-35

    A spot on the southern end of the map was marked with hieroglyphs of crocodiles fighting each other. That must be where Caimas took Tahet. Go to the Pit of Scales and find a way to rescue the Vizier's son.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Nahom Must HoldUldum · Level 30-35

    As soon as we make our move west in order to attack Neferset City, the enemy will strike us from the east, where we'll be weak. Nahom will be the first to fall, and if it does, Ramkahen will soon follow. A small detachment is there already. Get a briefing from them.
