Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Untangling the SigilKorthia · Level 60

    The Primus's sigil is bound together with the magic of memory. It reminds me of something you have encountered before. You made an ally of the Runecarver, that poor soul trapped in the bowels of Torghast. He took those memories you found and helped you forge them into weapons and armor.

After this quest

Taken from a quest that requires this one.

  • Once More, with HealingKorthia · Level 60

    The mawsworn continue to engage our forces at the Vault. There are heavy casualties on both sides. We must help! Take this and restore any wounded covenant allies you find. Mikanikos helped me create it. It runs on anima and should help patch up anyone. Even the Stoneborn or Maldraxxi.

Also counted by Chains of Domination
