Why force us to do dungeons? Really. This is frustrating.
This quest actually takes place in the [zone=7996] dungeon, it's not something you can do solo. The lexicon drops from Lord Malgath.

Description
I have been studying the language of the demons, but it has been difficult to get my hands on written material. I have heard rumor of a book called the Fel Lexicon, written by an ancient scholar who spoke both eredun and draenei. If I could just get my hands on that book, I could learn so much! I heard that this book might be in the hands of a powerful prisoner inside the Violet Hold. Bring me this book, and my work here will go much faster.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blood of Our Enemy
I have seen demonic artifacts before, <name>. Legion sigils will only reveal themselves in the presence of demon blood. I sense that time is of the essence. Bring me a large quantity of demon blood, so that I may translate the book as soon as you retrieve it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Delas in Dalaran
Delas Moonfang needs our help. In-turn, she will aid us to decrypt the Codex of Command. I implore you to seek her out as soon as possible. She is known to enjoy the memorial dedicated to the fallen, great leader of the Kirin Tor, Antonidas.
