Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Tempest CrownLevel 50

    <Xal'atath breathes in deeply and smiles.> My strength grows. I can see it clearly now... the third relic we seek. The crown known as Tempest Caller. How fitting that after the fall of Atal'Gral, the gluttonous Toatana would be the one to find the artifact.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • His Eye Upon YouLevel 50

    Something dark has taken root within you, <name>. The tendrils of N'Zoth are burrowing into your mind and soul, eager to consume everything you are. I can perform a rite of cleansing, but only in a place that resonates with the very power that grips you. Meet me near the Crucible of Storms.

Other quests with this name
