Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Webwood CorruptionShadowglen · Level 1-10

    I'd hoped to never return to Teldrassil for such grim business. I'd hoped that its corruption had been wiped away completely. Something foul lingers. These spiders suffer much more deeply from the corruption than the other nearby wildlife.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Signs of Things to ComeShadowglen · Level 1-10

    I will pursue the trail of the Gnarlpine and track this corruption to its source. If you ever encounter Athridas Bearmantle in Dolanaar, he knows intimately of the problems that plague this forest, and he can direct you on how to help further. I'm sure we will meet again with time.

The storyline at a glance

Shadowglen has 13 steps, from The Balance of Nature to Teldrassil: Passing Awareness.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Shadowglen (7), Teldrassil (6).
