TheWoWDBUnhelpfully, if you've left the zone for any reason (such as a side quest), the quest text says "Exit to Donegal". Don't. Instead head to The Ringing Deeps /way 47.13 20.7 Speaker Brinthe

Description
It is a dark day for the Ringing Deeps, {name}. I always knew there was something about the High Speaker that wasn't quite right. Now we have proof. And we need justice. If he has plans for the Awakening Machine, then we've got to stop him.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sympathetic Speakers
I have to stop the High Speaker from making more skardyn. Machine Speaker protocol dictates that one of the foremen in this area should have a key to the Hall of Awakening. Come with me, and we'll track it down!
