Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Any Portal in a StormTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

  Our friends in the Earthen Ring have been trying to open portals back to Stormwind, with no luck. But Thordun here tells me he might just have the key. The crazed water elementals in the nearby Verrall River Delta have been sent into a frenzy.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Firebeard's PatrolTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

  I was on my way to join Firebeard's Patrol when my bird was shot down. Twilight's Hammer launched surprise attacks all over the Highlands. Sometimes their buildings crawled right out of the earth in the middle of our villages. It was a nightmare!
