The only task I could get was the dreadlands as well. It sent me to scout
out a lava flow in skyfire. To get the ok message I had to get in the lava
and aggroed several mobs. Thank goodness for sow, I out ran them then
ported out. The next task was to explore the first bridge in Veeshan's
peak. It is locked and requires a key that is no small quest. This is not
soloable. Oh well, back to grinding. This is typical, SOE's idea of solo
only requires a group of 5 or 6.
