I'm not too sure how I feel about being used by Sylvanas like this. This is shady @#$%.

StorylineThe Secret of the Shieldmaidens, step 4 of 7
Rewards20g 22s, 6,150 XP
Description
It would seem that the engravings depict a rite of ascension, which allows the shieldmaidens to enter the vault. I believe we can use this to our advantage. You must become the next ascendant. Go to the temple and perform the rites. Should you need to wade through the corpses of the shieldmaidens to do so, then so be it. Find me when you have completed this task, and we will take the vault for the Horde!
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.
- A Gift for Greymane
It looks like the Gilnean infiltrators brought some heavy ordnance to the fight. It's likely they intend to use them on the walls of Dreadwake's Landing. If these could be rigged to Greymane's ship, it could make for a decisive end to his assault on the outpost.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Skold-Ashil
Thanks to your initiative, <class>, the situation at Dreadwake's Landing is under control. We have no time to rest on our laurels, however - Sylvanas's mission must still be carried out. The dark rangers are heading up operations in Skold-Ashil from the tower overlooking the river junction.
