This quest answers the question what happens to the Eagles when they fly too far East. They get shot down. This quest is one of the more controversial quests in the game, in that it has a very special way to resolve the quest in the final stage.

Just writing the title of this article gave me flashbacks. This is a quest that you beat once, and not visit ever again.
