What to do
Description
{name}, there are demon squids out there that are eating gilblins' heads and then taking them over! They better not come in here! Think you could swim out northwest onto Deepfin Ridge or into the Sira'kess Front and bring me back some of those Merciless things? Preferably dead, I think.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Standard Day for Azrajar
<name>, the naga are after our forces. I need you to go back northwest to Deepfin Ridge and stick our standard in their general, Fathom-Caller Azrajar. They'll swim away with their tails tucked between their... er. Well, I guess they don't have any legs, now do they?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Put It On
I've got an idea for a sweet disguise, but I'm going to need your help, <name>! Take one of these merciless corpses and put it on your head. I know, I know, but it's dead, so what could possibly go wrong other than you smelling bad for a day or two? Ready to put it on?
