TheWoWDBWhen the quest starts, do NOT immediately talk to Brann, let him run off. I talked to him and he immediately started following me around, and the quest showed a spot on the map that didn't account for whether it was above or below. So I didn't know where the proper entrance was. Had to abandon the quest and pick it back up, then actually meet Brann at the proper entrance.

Entrance: 59, 43
And once inside follow Bran's directions or will bug out
If it bugs out just go back to the entrance and start it over.
I got to the end of the cave and nothing happened. Abandoned and went all the way back to pick it up again. Same again. Turns out that you can't choose whichever path you want to get to the end, or Brann won't realize he's there. You need to take the left path instead of the right. Really unnecessary.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Deciphering Demonology
I found a piece of what appears to be a key to something. I'm certain I can restore it if we can find the other bits. After that, we need to figure out what it's a key to. An' I think I know how to do that.
