Don't leave after looting the key from the end boss, you'll have to open the prison inside of the instance.
If you miss it, you can do it solo by entering the instance from Dalaran. Stand back and wait for the mobs to reach the guards, then run past them and unlock the prison. Lyndras has ~5m hp, so it shouldn't be too hard to burn him down quickly, before the other mobs lose interest in the guards and come after you.

This is the end of Lyndras story.
We need to go to the [zone=7996] dungeon and kill the final boss.
Boss will drop [item=135556], but don't exit the dungeon after boss kill
You need to open a cage first
It is the 2-nd cage from the left, lower level

Description

With Lyndras being locked up in Violet Hold, you feel responsible for him and must discover the truth behind his actions. Perhaps if you were able to speak with him, you could find a way to have him released from the hold and put back into your custody. Go into Violet Hold and find out what happened to Lyndras.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where's Lyndras: Leyflame LarcenyLevel 45

    The guards here must have seen Lyndras come through. The trail of ley dust isn't exactly hard to miss either. Perhaps one of the guards knows what became of Lyndras.

    Okay, done mourning! Let's look through his stuff. <Tanithria takes a moment to leaf through Lyndras' journal. Her eyes open wide.> Our friend has been keeping secrets from us. Look at this! Every single one of the recipes he's taught us can be improved. Let's start simple, with some bracers.
