TheWoWDBAt the end of the instance there is a quick way back to the entrance, to turn in this and the other two quests. From [npc=23954]'s corpse, head back WSW, and instead of turning right up the stairs whence you came, go straight and drop down the shaft, and then another, and you will find your way back to [npc=24111].

A World of Warcraft quest in Utgarde Keep. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Quest was added with patch 4.3 and is given by Defender Mordun who previously gave the quests "Into Utgarde!" (now named "Stealing Their Thunder") and "Disarmament."
Defender Mordun was once located outside of the Keep, but he is now INSIDE the instance.
Be sure you're not in a raid group. There are 3 quests at the entrance (inside). I was in a raid group having just been run through Magtheridon and leader forgot to change it (and I didn't notice). The other two were completed, but it will not register the kill of the prince. Doh.
That is every comment on this page.

Description
Prince Keleseth acts as Arthas' eyes and ears in the Fjord. I don't like that one bit! Go and give him a round o' pain. You'll be doing the world a favor by doing so.
Getting there
Inside the dungeon: Utgarde Keep
Utgarde Keep was long thought to be abandoned, a relic of a lost civilization among the central cliffs of the Howling Fjord. Yet in recent days something has roused the fortress' slumbering residents, the vrykul.
Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Prince Keleseth, Skarvald & Dalronn, Ingvar the Plunderer.
Entrance: Howling Fjord at 57.2, 46.1.
