What to do
Description
The Ashbringer and your fellow Maldraxxi need reinforcements at the western gate. They are barely holding on! Xandria and my kin will reinforce our position here and push forward towards Gharmal. We must make haste to Mograine--without both flanks, we cannot hope to achieve victory.
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.
- An Early End
Within the Hall of Chains lie more constructs that are nearly complete. As we speak, the Margrave's forces work fervently to graft the last pieces of flesh to their horrific visages.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Charging The Blade
We can't advance with those juggernauts bombarding our position! I led a strike against the nearest one, but conventional weapons do nothing against their imbued hides. Thankfully, I have an idea.
