While there is a breadcrumb quest into the Lost City, you do not need to have it to receive Targets of Opportunity and this quest. Have not determined if Targets of Opportunity is a prereq, tho, will check later and update. Edit: Both Targets of Opportunity and the Source of Their Power were available together upon entering the instance. I have not done any of the Harrison Jones quests and have completed Ramkahen past "Nahom Must Hold", so I lean towards thinking that all it takes is getting past the first few quests in the zone to open these qu

Killing Bosses Barim and Lockmaw causes windtunnels to appear that can take you to where he is. Dismiss your pet first and resummon back on top. I had a problem getting my pet up there. Eventually ran to the other side so that he was to far away and left on his own.

Description

We managed to do extensive scouting before our crew was ambushed. We discovered that Deathwing's envoy, Siamat, is giving the Neferset their newfound power. They claim it has restored them to the greatness of old, but something else has happened. Their very souls have been corrupted. As one of the four winds, Siamat is incredibly powerful. But that power has been drained considerably by this process. Strike now, while it is possible for you to slay him and bring an end to this madness.
