Description

I don't trust the quiet here. Let's shore up the defenses. Did you see those slumped-over arcane golems around the village?

They may not look like much now, but a quick tune up will have them on their feet soon enough. They're good for standing guard, and also for ferreting out any hidden snakes in the weeds.

Let's get to work. The sooner the golems are running, the better I'll feel about this town's safety.

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.

  • Face the PastEversong Woods · Level 80-83

    <Umbric scans the Eversong map with grave intent.> Tranquillien was marked, as are a number of other locations. <Umbric stops, voice tightening.> Windrunner Village. It's marked. The Twilight's Blade retreated to their base in Deatholme, but my home may be in peril.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Comprehend the VoidEversong Woods · Level 80-83

    Kasiea's notes may be lost forever, but we must try and improvise. I have one final ritual to try. If this doesn't work, then the answers lay in Deatholme, the Twilight's Blade's heart. But first...
