Where to go from here

The Mooshga quest series directs you to the Nektulos Forest Timeline, and this is good advice to follow. The quests found just inside Nektulos Forest are well suited to characters who have finished the Commonlands Timeline and are roughly level 20.

If you're not level 20 yet, you can find many more quests nearby in the Darklight Wood Timeline. Darklight Wood is next door to the Commonlands, and is very well suited to be explored in parallel. Darklight Wood is just a short distance northwest from the Crossroads. You will also find the friendly city of Neriak in that zone.
