TheWoWDBAll around Lira there are corpses of red wyrms, hanging from chains, laying sprawled on the ground. . .some of them are missing their tails, some their heads, some all their appendages.
Gruesome. Twilight jerks!

All you have to do is fly in, land next to her and use the axe.
Didn't agro anything.
I think you missed the part where this is the COMMENTS section. If the section was only for getting help then it might have been called ADVICE or ASSISTANCE forum.
I too come to these pages hoping to gain insight into the quests, but understand that sometimes it just isn't there.**Edit** After actually doing the quest, I suggest starting on the side near the lake opposite of where you get the quest. From there you can pick off 2 assassins (Pats) and 1 vindicator creating a small opening that lets you get to a chain & free the dragon. You only need to use the item next to 1 piece of the chain to complete the quest.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Elementium Axe
The Twilight cowards have captured and killed many red dragons, but one's still breathing. Do you remember Lirastrasza? She's chained nearby and we're going to free her. But first, we need something sharp enough to cut her free. There's an old ettin named Blindeye the Guardian.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fire the Cannon
My arch-nemesis, Lord Cannon, has foolishly decided to throw his allegiance to the Twilight's Hammer. In the past, we've coexisted with a shaky truce, but his change of heart leaves me little choice but to put an end to him.
