The Soul Saga Questline has 20 quests.
The Saga starts in Meridian/Sanctum and takes you through many of the Mathosian zones. There is a short trip to Steppes of Affinity in Storm Legion at the end. There is no group instanced content and no PVP.
Although the first quest can be picked up at level 15, I recommend you wait until you are at least level 65 to start, then you will be able to complete all the quests solo.
The level requirements will increase as you go through the questline. So if you are completing this at lower levels and are unable to pick up the next quest then it may be that you are not high enough level yet.
The questline rewards: A bunch of Runeguard notoriety, and the costume capes: ‘Cape of the Arbiter’, ‘Cape of the Physician’, ‘Cape of the Liberator’, and ‘Cape of the Oracle’.
The first 2 quests start in Meridian/Sanctum, so the NPCs are different for Defiant and Guardian characters. The rest of the questline takes place in neutral zones and is the same for Defiant and Guardian characters.
Note: Due to the name and content of the saga, some peeps may wonder if you need to buy the souls to be able to complete these quests! You do not need to have purchased any of the souls to be able to complete this questline!
The quests will show up in the ‘Moonshade Highlands’ area of your quest log.

Note: You may have come across this guide because you are a new, low level player that is stuck on one of the quests, usually the ‘Close a Hero’s Unrest rift’ quest. This questline is meant for HIGH LEVEL characters. The devs did a silly when they made it so that such low level characters could pick up the first few quests!
You should portal back to the starter zone, Freemarch or Silverwood and continue questing the normal storyline through these zones. Look in your quest log and unsticky anything that is under a ‘saga questline’ heading. If you are having trouble getting back to the normal quests then do please ask in chat for help! Many other players have also fallen into this trap before you!
