Use the book in the little round house, the mob will then appear in the doorway, give you a bit of a lecture and then attack.
Read the book lying on the ground of the circular building at the top of the mechanognome/robot structure at 64, 22 and Mechazod will appear behind you. He'll give a small speech and then you can kill him and loot his head.

Clearly this Gearmaster Mechazod creature is not in his right mind. If his offer of a cure and immortality means all of us becoming robotic slaves then he must be stopped! The winds that guide me whisper that he's atop the pumping station out in the middle of the pools to the west. Most likely, he'll be found in the command hut on top of the structure. Go inside and research his works. {name}, you must confront Mechazod if we are to survive!

- Shrouds of the Scourge
To the northeast looms the Temple City of En'kilah, the Scourge's seat in Borean Tundra. From behind its walls, the Scourge commander has sent his Nerubians to surround us. Remaining on the defensive would doom my people, but my advisors differ in their strategies.
