Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Hatred Becomes UsTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

  I should have suspected a sha presence earlier! We are safe as long as we stand inside the Totem of Harmony's protective wards, but many of our people were not so lucky. They were trapped outside the camp when the sha's powers manifested, and now they turn upon each other!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• A Spear Through My Side, A Chain Through My SoulTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

  My fate is sealed. The yaungol put this spear in my side. The wound will kill me. The yaungol hold me in place with their twisted, corrupted magic. The indignity of it hurts worse than my spear-wound. My death, I cannot stop. My imprisonment... you may be able to help me with this.
