The wild wild east

Starts immediately after killing Golbug the Destroyer in the quest Let's hunt some Orc.

You are met by Harno, Hearld of Last Hope, who delivers a letter from the King of Last Hope, then vanishes. He gives you the sealed letter from the king; you will need to Use it to read the letter. Oddly, it will be under runes/inscriptions in your inventory.

The note will indicate the Staff of Absorption was taken in a raid and will mention Golbug (whom you just defeated) and a portal. It so happens there is a farportal in the room just beyond where Golbug was waiting. Didn't you just pick up a Orb of Many Ways? Walk into the portal and activate the Orb, and off you go.

Quest becomes Strange New World after you exit.
