Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Battle for the Skies
Dafeng, the spirit of air, is terrified by Zhao-Ren, the Onyx Serpent. We must help him face that fear, or face it for him ourselves. When I told Ji of the serpent, he said he had an idea and would begin preparations outside of the chamber.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Small, But Significant
I am tired, <name>. I must rest. We have a ritual to perform, but we require some of the charms from this grove. If you wander the grove, you should see them all over hanging from the trees.
