TheWoWDBIf you're doing this quest immediately following the Thoras Trollbane questline, you can cast Death Gate to return to Arathi Highlands and have a quick flight to the Undercity. Useful for Alliance players without portals to upper Eastern Kingdoms.

Once you've started the scenario at Thassarian, you can easily just fly straight to Koltira and free him without attacking any guards or waiting for Thassarian, then take his death portal and complete the quest very quickly.
Because the devs are, apparently, complete idiots, you will rez at Faol's Rest if you're Alliance and you die on this. That's right--basically Scarlet Monastery.

Description
If you have a moment, Deathlord... there is a personal matter I would like to speak with you about. Some time ago, a brother of the Ebon Blade was imprisoned beneath the ruins of Lordaeron by the Dark Lady. Sylvanas has refused all attempts to negotiate his release. Now, our world faces destruction and the time for diplomacy has passed. Koltira Deathweaver cannot fight the Burning Legion in chains. So we will break them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The King Rises
King Thoras was one of the greatest warriors this world has known. His people loved him and his enemies feared him. He only ever spoke truth, often saying the words others were afraid to speak. King Thoras lived a life of war and he certainly deserves the peace of death.
