Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• HarandarHarandar · Level 83-88

  With the Devouring Host occupying much of our attention and time, we leave our backs exposed to other threats that wait in the wings. This Lightbloom that has afflicted Eversong grows worse by the day.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• To Har'athirHarandar · Level 83-88

  All of the world's roots grow toward our homeland. The ones above you are mighty, but new--born of a fledgling World Tree you call Amirdrassil. As far as World Trees go, it is a strange one. But its nature matters less than its reach.
