Description

Lord Stormsong has never taken kindly to dissent, but this is madness. These laborers are being worked to death!

Take this vial and apply it to the laborers. It contains blessed seawater that will rejuvenate their strength.

Avoid engaging what troops you can. They are merely following orders. More death will only worsen matters.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Haywire HarvestersStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    See the golems down there? Farmers use their sharp claws to reap the harvest, but these are cutting timber... Why would they need them here when they have so many laborers on hand? I think the militia is using them to intimidate their own people!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Proclamation InvestigationStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    My lord seldom leaves our holdings along the northern coast, and visitors are expressly forbidden. For most, tidesages like myself are their only connection to the house proper. Lord Stormsong usually delivers orders through proclamations posted throughout the valley.
