Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Re-Warding EffortSuramar · Level 45

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Subject 16Suramar · Level 45

    <It seems Theryn is still under the arcanist's spell. In the absence of Kel'danath himself, a live subject could be useful in helping Thalyssra unravel his research.>
