The quest system in World of WarCraft unfortunately gives little indication of time, and so the general time frame for the above events is largely subject to speculation. The later portion of the events, however, from Edwin VanCleef's death on, probably occur within a very short time of one another. Both The Stockade Riot and The Attack clearly occur soon after VanCleef's death, since Marzon/Maelik and Lord Lescovar do not appear to have heard that VanCleef is dead.
