The Army of Meridia or Council of the Five Companions?

It seems both have me in a battle with Molag Bal.

Which one should you complete first?

My guess right now is to complete The Army of Meridia in Coldharbor first and then Council of the Five Companions.

The quest journal seems to confirm that would be the proper order, so I guess I'm asking just to confirm so I don't miss out on any thing.

Without spoilers, Council of the Five would technically come first, but it doesn't really matter.

I did Council of the 5 first (looking at achievements it's 5.5 of the main story), I still have a main story quest that hasn't come up yet and I think it's because I haven't finished the Army of Merida.

Yup, the last main story quest triggers after you reach level 45, and after you've finished the main Coldharbour questline.

I ran em both at.. almost the same time.. I think i did them a day apart.

Technically it doesn't matter, but level-wise, Council of the Five comes first. It has a required level of 40 and a recommended level of 45. Army of Meridia has a recommended level of 48.

Logical story progression will allow for either situation:
If you do Council of the Five first:

At the end of Council of the Five, the Prophet tells you that you need end the Planemeld before you talk to him again. This basically directs you (in as many words) to complete the Army of Meridia questline, and the final Main Story quest will appear once you finish The Final Assault.

If you do Army of Meridia first:

Assuming you have followed the Army of Meridia quest chain through to its conclusion in The Final Assault, at the end of Council of the Five, the Prophet tells you that the Planemeld has been stopped, but Molag Bal's power remains. This sets you up for the final Main Story quest.

Oh oh.

Ok, I just hit VR1 while knocking out Coldharbor and the Army of Meridia.

I did not look at the spoilers yet. Thank you for posting them like that. I enjoy the game & the surprises.

But reading this, it sounds like I'm good because I'm doing Coldharbor before the main which is the way it is intended, correct?

And thank you all for the replies.
