  • Knickknack TakebackVol'dun · Level 30-60

    Nisha told me you came here in search of an exile. One named Rakera? We don't know her, but we might be able to help you find her. You help us, and we help you. Deal? We survive by scavenging. We trade what we find, but the sethrak that raided our burrows made away with many of our knickknacks.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Grozztok the BlackheartVol'dun · Level 30-60

    A group of us were dropped off here and left to die. Our first night at camp, I was jolted from sleep by de gurgling cries of my fellow exiles. Jakra'zet sent assassins to our camp, looking for Rakera. Their leader, Grozztok, came for me, but Rakera intervened.
