The Queen's Colony is no longer a safe place for Qeynosians. A once peaceful clan of goblins has, for some reason, begun attacking the colony's inhabitants. I am to report to Sergeant Haggus outside the west archway and assist in his investigation into the cause of this uprising.

Stage 1

I need to report to Sergeant Haggus outside the west archway. He should have some tasks for me to help the colony.

Start:	Report to Sergeant Haggus outside the west archway.
Complete:	I spoke with Sergeant Haggus.

I reported to Sergeant Haggus and have been assigned my first duty.

Stage 2

Sergeant Haggus and the other defenders need help defending the colony. I should help fend off the attacking goblin horde.

Start:	Kill tainted Sapswill invaders. They are attacking the barricades.
Complete:	I killed some invaders.

I was able to help fend off the attacking goblins.

Stage 3

I helped defend the colony and should return to Sergeant Haggus to see if there is anything else I can do.

Start:	Return to Sergeant Haggus.
Complete:	I returned to Sergeant Haggus.

I returned to Sergeant Haggus.

Stage 4

Sergeant Haggus has sent me to find out about some missing soldiers that have not returned. I should look for any sign of the missing soldiers in Sunset Meadow.

Start:	I should search past the barricades in Sunset Meadow for signs of the missing soldiers.
Complete:	I discovered the grim fate of the soldiers.

The missing soldiers were dead. Even worse, their remains seemed to rise from the dead and attack me as if controlled by some diabolical force.

Stage 5

I need to report back to Sergeant Haggus with this grim information.

Start:	Report the bad news to Sergeant Haggus.
Complete:	I reported the bad news to Sergeant Haggus.

I reported to Sergeant Haggus that his missing soldiers are dead.

Stage 6

Sergeant Haggus would like me to take this information back to Murrar Shar.

Start:	Take this information back to Murrar Shar.
Complete:	I took the information back to Murrar Shar.

I returned to Murrar Shar with the information on the missing soldiers.

I reported to Sergeant Haggus and helped out at the barricades. The goblins were relentless, but I was able to help fend them off. It was a sad sight to see the soldier that had been killed, but the information I collected should prove useful to the colony.

This quest is given by Murrar Shar after you complete The Art of Combat quest. He refers you to Sergeant Haggus just outside the west gate, who has some tasks for you.

Sergeant Haggus first asks you to kill three Tainted Sapswill Invaders for him. These are located just outside of the gates. After killing three return to Sergeant Haggus.

He wll then ask you to search for signs of the missing soldiers a tad bit deeper in the Sunset Meadow to the west of the gate. Basically your looking for a dead soldier laying on the ground. These spawn in random areas near 115, -3.8, 181.

When you find the dead soldier you will receive an update and a defiled soldier will spawn. Kill him and return to Sergeant Haggus.

Haggus will give you a Guidebook to the Queen's Colony at this point. You can read this book by right clicking and selecting read. Read it all the way through to initiate The Queen's Colony quest.

(Per comments from 2009, you do not receive the Guidebook from Haggus anymore)

Haggus will then send you back to Murrar Shar who will complete the quest. Murrar Shar will then offer you the Into the Tainted Forest quest.

Does this quest not give the Guidebook to Queen's Colony book anymore? Just ran a random newbie through it and didn't get one. /emo
