You do NOT have to go up through the locked gate...
Instead, there is a cave underneath the castle wall (51,47)...

for mop remix, you do NOT need to do this quest for the meta. just do all the scenarios in the main town in succession and that should be enough to do the meta. i just did it on a toon starting at level 50. ended up around 55.
Thanks--I thought my game was bugged after chasing the question mark all over the beast pens.

Description
The Shado-Pan arrived here before we did, and they are already at work undermining the Thunder King's forces. I want you to meet with Taran Zhu, the leader of the Shado-Pan, and offer your services on behalf of the Sunreavers. I doubt he is truly in need of the aid, but the gesture holds importance in itself.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Storm Gathers
There is no time to waste, <name>. Every moment we delay here gives Jaina and the Kirin Tor more of a hold on the Isle. Lor'themar awaits us. Speak to me when you are ready to depart. I will escort you there myself.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Secrets in the Isle of Thunder
I do have one thing I would ask of you, <class>. We've gotten our hands on a powerful ritual stone that the Shan'ze mogu use to beckon their allies into battle, but we need more than one to perform their rituals. If you come upon three of these stones, bring them back to me.
