Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Regal RemainsStormheim · Level 10-45

  So you seek the judgment of the queen of the Valkyra? This must be your fault! The Bonespeakers of Haustvald have committed an atrocity and stolen Ashildir's bones. They must have done this to keep an outsider from completing the trials. You must not let this stand!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Breaking the BonespeakersStormheim · Level 10-45

  The crimes of these ritualists must not go unpunished, but we cannot be their executioners. The rune magic they practice grants them untold power over the dead. You, however, are not dead, and I can sense great power from you.
