In the cutscene you see the Loa Pa'ku pick up Habatu and the King. I wonder if that means Habatu isn't dead (he's Pa'Ku's follower)?

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Thunder's FallZuldazar · Level 10-60
Warlord Kao commands de mogu from dis warship. It is time to put an end to dis incursion. I should be able to hold off any stragglers dat may come to Kao's aid, but I can only maintain dis barrier for so long. Be careful. Kao was one of de Thunder King's top generals.

After this quest

Taken from a quest that requires this one.

Sending Out An SOSZuldazar · Level 10-60
I noticed an exodus from the fleet, far out in the harbor. Flyers were sent out, they seek something, or someone. Those ships made a great journey, and they have much work ahead. Please check in with Captain Grez'ko. I am sure he could use a hand!
