Lots of Void Tears spawn at the mouth of the river, on the of in the "Lost City of The Tol'Vir" text on the map.

Interact with the Void Tear, kill the spawned enemies - the last enemy will be a single [npc=158963].

I spent five minutes at an open void (unclickable) that poured out low-level mobs but no Void Keeper came out. I gave up then found a clickable void -- looked like a thin black line, not an open portal. Once clicked it then became a round, black void portal. Mobs spawned and it took less than a minute to kill them and then the Void Keeper came out.

For this quest, regardless if it's in Uldum or Vale of Eternal blossoms, you're looking for Void Tears. Void Tears are clickable little void portals that once you've clicked them, mobs start spawning out of it. The last mob spawning out of it before it closes will be the Void Keeper that you need to kill for the quest.

Description

Our warriors have observed foul manifestations coming forth from numerous void tears within the surrounding jungle. They have been but mere weaklings, clearly intended to test our defenses before the real forces arrive. If we do not deal with this threat now, however, it will only be a matter of time until we are overrun by their fodder. Find a way to close those portals!

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.
