You do get a blue; this isn't really the end of the questline. Read Catriona's post. It finishes with Umbranse's Deliverance.

Description
I have heard tales of Umbranse, though I have not ever met him in person. Rumor has it that he's been collecting magical artifacts, though for what purpose, I couldn't say. Best pass this information on to a trusted ally. Nymn, the high elf, can be found within Everlook, the large goblin town to the northeast. Tell him all that we learned today.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Pursuit of Shades
You say it spoke of a master? Of one who holds Zin-Malor? This is grave news. You must act, <class>! I saw the shade fly off to the south. Take the path to the upper ruins, and you may be able to climb the frozen waterfall after it! And do not let your guard down... it may be waiting for you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hammer Time
The three of us have been arguing for weeks over whose weapons are superior. I won't let anyone tell me my maces are second best. Kilram's axes and Seril's swords could never match the pure strength of my craft. I'm tired of arguing. It's time to show those two I'm right with a demonstration.
