Once you've gone out and found your mana, it's a pain in the arse to find the entrance back inside. It's at 35,48.

Don't forget-- Thalyssra is waiting for you in her underground CAVE! I was running on top of the question mark for a few minutes. Entrance at 35.0, 48.0.

Description

Without the Nightwell to feed upon, my comrades and I will have to live off the land itself. Ancient mana from the underground leylines can reach the surface in many forms, most commonly as crystals or gems. <Thalyssra picks up a small stone and, whispering words of power, traces a rune upon it with her fingertip.> This stone will glow when ancient mana is nearby. Please gather as much as possible! It will be a precious resource in the weeks to come.
