Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Hunter's GazeLevel 10-45

    <name>, before you lies your nether crucible - more powerful than any we've crafted before. The souls of the hundreds of slain demons in Mardum have provided us with enough power to directly observe the Legion on Azeroth. What we have uncovered so far has been... unsettling.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Direct Our WrathLevel 10-45

    The Tomb of Sargeras is the Legion's primary entrance into our world - it must be destroyed. No easy task, but until we have the means to do so we must do what we can to stop their invasion.
