Chronology/Event Quests

Grael's Shadow Lieutenant and his army attack the locations where the Shadow Spires fell including: Arwic, Eastham, Khayaban, Tufa, Tou Tou, Sawato and the Dark Design dungeon near Eastwatch.
The Lieutenant at each of the locations drops a piece of a ripped note, which can be combined with the other pieces to form A Letter. The letter can be translated and then handed in to Sarkin Killcrane of Wai Jhou for the title Apprentice Shadow Hunter.

Grael's Shadow Captain and his army of high level Shadows attacks Arwic and the other former Shadow Spire attack sites - Shadow Storms appear in the sky.
The Captain at each site drops a Shadow Mote on death, which can be combined to form a Shadow Shard. The shard can be shown to Sarkin Killcrane for the title Shadow Hunter.

One of Grael's generals, Makkar, attacks Wai Jhou. On death he drops a claw, which can be given to Sarkin Killcrane to break a spell that Makkar cast on him. In return, Sarkin rewards you with xp and the title Killcrane's Ally.

Grael's Shadow Captain reappears in Arwic and the other towns after each new spawn is cleared. When the captain is defeated, a portal opens to a dungeon containing a Mukkir General that drops a Piece of a Device on its corpse.
When the seven pieces from each general are combined it forms an Incomplete Device. The device can be used with the Shadow Shard from earlier to create the Inactive Device.

General Makkar appears again, this time near the breach with other Mukkir. He drops an Amulet of Dark Rage, which when wielded allows the wearer to enter the breach.
The Shadow Vortex at the bottom of the dungeon is killed and a portal to Arwic appears.
After the vortex is destroyed, players can show their amulets to Sarkin Killcrane for xp and the title Knight of the Golden Flame.
The Inactive Device can be shown to Sarkin Killcrane for xp and the title Squire of the Golden Flame.
The amulet can also be shown to Riordin Nightbane, who will then accept the Inactive Device and give you Grael's Claw in return.
