Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crime FamilyArathi Highlands · Level 80

    This Syndicate human came to us hoping to trade information for a rescue mission. The Syndicate is a recent thorn in our side, so I had half a mind to cut him down where he stood. But he claims to have vital information, and with this news of Danath's disappearance...

  • Hammerfall DownArathi Highlands · Level 80

    <Eitrigg growls in frustration.> I was such a fool! I should not have sent away those outriders. Without them, the Syndicate have overrun Hammerfall. And were it not for my fool heart... The "refugees" turned out to be Syndicate spies, curse their greasy hides... But now you're here.
