Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• A Growing CrisisSuramar · Level 45

  The Arcan'dor is failing. This energy was once bound in its boughs and fueled its growth. There was balance, between life and arcane. Now that energy is breaking free. When the heart can no longer hold it, this tree will kill every living thing in this hall.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Fragments of DisasterSuramar · Level 45

  In the hall beyond rests the bones of the failed arcan'dor. I will take fragments of the crystallized tree and attempt to read them. We must discover the root cause of this destruction. Only then do we have any hope of preventing this disaster from repeating itself.
