It is not initially required for Seekers to visit Basin Keep on their way to the Grand Krys'kajo. However, after finding the temple complex barricaded by Shad protesting the power plant, they must return here to attempt to bargain with the Mayor. The Mayor is not overly concerned with what he views as the Shad's nonsense, but under protest from K'tara, he tasks the Seekers with assisting with the problem, in the mandatory An Infested Village quest.
