Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Through the Looking GlassTalador · Level 20-40

    An ally of yours, Thaelin, is helping us counter the Iron Horde. He claims this device can be used to spy on the enemy, even so far as hearing what they are saying at great distance. I do not trust such devices. Use it and let me know what you see.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In Short SupplyTalador · Level 20-40

    The Iron Horde has explosive devices stored throughout the heart of their logging camp. We must recover them so they are not used against us. I will keep an eye on Maraad... I worry for him in his anger.
