For those of you having trouble getting the skull to drop here is a little trick i figured out. Aggro one of the Young Twilight Drake and pull it out of the Ascendant's Rise zone into the Mount Hyjal zone and kill it. (Look at your mini map for what zone you are in) you can actually stand on the east edge of the little gated area they spawn and have the zone change. This was the only way i could get the skull to drop. Hope this helps others.

Description

This egg you recovered is an alarming sign, {name}. The Twilight dragons are usually raised from stolen eggs from other dragonflights, which are then modified through dark magic. This "natural" egg is evidence that one of their matriarchs has become a viable broodmother. We must destroy her before her brood spreads. Go to the Ascendant's Rise where they claim these aberrations are kept and slay one of the juvenile drakes. We will use its skull to lure out its mother.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Twilight EggMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    The egg is unlike any that you've seen before. Its translucent shell appears to bend the light around it. Accompanying it, you find a note describing the arrival of a fertile broodmother at the Ascendant's Rise. Perhaps you should show this to Aronus.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Death to the BroodmotherMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    We've located the matriarch's feeding grounds south of the Ascendant's Rise. She will be extremely angry to have lost one of her drakes. Place the skull there near the carcasses she devours. If she's anywhere in the vicinity, she will come out and attempt to exact revenge.
