Feel like these questlines should've been active for a week or so before the invasions started

As it stands right now its a bit jarring to be accepting daily quests from NPCs, then doing these questlines which explain how the invasion started, and or how the daily giving NPC got where he/she is.

Description

As you can see, {name}, we have our hands full here dealing with these disgusting bugs. Our caravans from the south have stopped arriving and we have received disturbing news from the few who've made it back recently. I've sent a patrol toward Orsis to investigate; they are past due for a report back. Can I ask you to check in on them for me?

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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Search for SurvivorsUldum · Level 50

    The bugs came from everywhere... There wasn't any time to react. Many of my friends died where they stood, while others tried to fight with our meager tools. I'm a coward. I fled in the commotion instead of trying to help. Now, here I am, out of food and water and too scared to look for survivors.
