TheWoWDBGo UP the road until ON the RIGHT of the path (east) you see a tree fallen to cover the top of an opening to a pond with an obelisk glowing green. You have just past where you need to turn left (west). The cave is not at the bottom of the cliff, but up one level and is hard to see until you are on top of it ... it goes down into the ground an not directly into the cliff wall.

Description
For what must be done, I need someone I can trust. You're one of those few. The woods and the orc village, Gul'var, are protected from my scrying magic. We need to pierce that veil. I think I know a way. There's a fel presence within the woods. A demonic watcher is there, hidden in a cave from which it casts its all-seeing gaze. I would like for you and the warden to capture it.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Meet Us at Starfall Outpost
The archmage has uncovered a potential Shadow Council presence in the valley. He asked me to let you know. As soon as you can, join us at Starfall Outpost. We're going to need your muscle to root them out, commander.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shrouding Stones
Long ago, the shaman of the Shadowmoon clan erected three stones in the woods. There, they performed their sacred rituals, blessing the beasts and the trees. Now, someone has placed a fel magic upon those stones. This corruption is what shrouds the village of Gul'var.
