IMPORTANT: Before you turn this in, question her ([npc=203968]) about 'where have all the people gone' and keep pushing that line of questioning until something happens. If you kill the thing, you get [item=207294]. (Tip: Have [spell=334275] keybound and be prepared to kite.)

As of this time, you cannot go back to get it if you proceed too far in the quest line.

Edit: For those who need to find a way to get it after proceeding too far, you can do it on another warlock alt or look for a warlock friend to party sync quest line with.

This is the breadcrumb quest that kick-starts an exclusive quest chain for Warlocks to unlock some new demon pet customizations.

Note: You have up until completing Curses & Cultists to talk to Madam Shadow and repeatedly question her, which will result in her teleporting you into the Darkmoon Arena to fight [npc=204964].
Completing this optional encounter will reward you with [item=207294]. Just keep [spell=334275] active and chip it's health away with DoTs and instant cast spells while kiting it.
Twinkle will also be available at the Darkmoon Faire, so it's entirely optional during the quest chain.

Completing the final quest will reward you with [spell=417884], unlocking the four Fiendish Imp tints for Warlock's Imps.
The following week you will receive [item=206681] in your mail, starting A Lighter Shade of Fel.
Turning in the quest will reward you with [item=207101].

Darkmoon Faire rolls around and i decide to go on my Warlock, forgetting I had this quest. So I go talk to Phineas, and he says to go the the Faire. So I go. The same old way I have been for years, by talking to the teleporter and going through the portal.

DO NOT DO THIS.
YOU MUST CLICK THE WAGON NEXT TO PHINEAS.

I was so confused for 15 mins, trying to figure out why the quest wasn't completing.

    Phineas did well in bringing you to me, <name>. There is much work to be done. We'd best get to it! As a master of the dark arts, I need you to help me whip these newcomers into shape. Talk to them. They come from many walks of life--all of them unfamiliar with the dark arts. Learn their wishes.
