Description

I've been away too long. The Machine Speakers are clearly not faring well here. Does the High Speaker know about this?

Nerubian sabotage and gross negligence are a devastating combination. We need to get Ironhaul Station up and running as soon as possible. It's a vital link between the Ringing Deeps and the city up above.

Please, <name>, help our injured workers, collect any salvageable cargo, and restore safety to Ironhaul Station.

Despite my character being an Earthen Dwarf, Injured Railhand still commented "Expressing relief! Glad to see a friendly... whatever you are.". I know it's not a big deal, but it would be nice if this got changed to something a little bit more immersive

That is every comment on this page.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into the DeepsThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    Onward and downward it is, then. We'd best follow after Speaker Brinthe and see what state the nerubians have left her home in. Magni, Dagran, and I will accompany you down in due time. Would you mind roving ahead and making sure there's a warm welcome awaiting us?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Getting Off TrackThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    Speaker Brinthe acknowledged. Outlanders, there is work to do. One of our larger mine carts has derailed. It's blocking the station's main junction. My workers' productivity is impaired, and their functioning is suboptimal. The titans put us here to work, but my workers aren't all working.
