To free the Riftbound Vorkai, you need to use the quest item to phase into the shadow world, then free them there.
When you are done, phase back to the regular world and go collect each of them.
To be able to do the quest, you get a [item=187012] which lets you transition to the rift phase of the maw for an unlimited amount of time.
On live servers you are not able to exploit this to e.g. either find secrets in Korthia's rift phase or to kill [npc=179735] for the secret mount [item=186713] because you will get phased out of the rift once you leave the zone near the Ardenweald assault.

Description
Existence is not a simple thing, {name}. It is layers upon layers of realities. The Jailer's traps are pulling our troops into one such rift, hidden from normal sight. I have obtained an Unbalanced Riftstone. It will give you the ability to enter the rift and destroy the traps keeping our troops trapped inside, before they are lost forever. After you've destroyed the Rift-Veiled Traps, exit the rift and pull the trapped soldiers back into our reality.
