Enter the front gate of Stromgarde. Go forward under the bridge, and turn right. Just past the Alliance guard, before the arch in the wall, turn left, there is only one ogre between you and the area they swarm.

Description

All rested? Here's our next step: there're ogres all around the Tower of Arathor in Stromgarde. We're gonna need to ward you against the tower's defenses. To do that, we're gonna need some gems the Boulderfist shaman have taken a liking to. They took 'em from the tower, but they're not gonna stay in their possession for long. Get one of them gems an' bring 'em to Kryten--he knows the spell to enchant it.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wand over FistArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    Hey, <name>. Sorry to be so short with ye earlier... and no, that ain't a pun. I figured out where Trelane's first item ended up: Kor'gresh has it in Boulderfist Hall.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Attack on the TowerArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    Here's what you're looking for: Trelane's phylactery, Trelane's orb, and Trelane's ember agate. All three should be in chests within the tower. You shouldn't have a problem opening the chests on your own; you just have to be careful of the ogres. You'll need to have your weapons at the ready.
