Quests that can be done in any order
* Speaking with Captain Garevel will get you the quest Last of the Legion.
* Speaking with Mistress Woolsey will get you the quest The Righteous Path.
* Speaking with Seneschal Varel will get you the quest Shadows of the Blackmarsh.
Following quests
* Following these three main quests is either The Assault on Amaranthine or The Siege of Vigil's Keep, but not both.
* Depths of Depravity is the final assault on the Mother's lair.
== Bugs ==
* The quest that requires you to speak to Mistress Woolsey will appear to be incomplete in the quest log even though you have already spoken to her and obtained The Righteous Path quest. As of PC V1.05, this is still prevalent. Talk with Seneschal Varel after Oaths of Fealty ceremony and ask about Kristoff again. This will update the quest journal properly. To prevent the bug from the start, talk to Mistress Woolsey first, and then, the other two.
