To everyone who had a hard time understanding the above directions(like me), here are some alternate ones:

1. Enter the main entry(68.6, 15.5): south, very very big guarded by two abominations. Its not a door, its a very large opening.
2. Follow the left wall, go upstairs - there is no left turn
3. Keep following the left wall, it will make you go right slightly, bypass all the terrain junk that get in your way, you end up on second floor in middle. Look left, there is a big cage with a small NPC. Yes the Taunka is small compared to the big steel blood dripping cage.

Description

Bristlehorn should have returned by now. The other reason why we came up here was to investigate that Scourge structure to the west, which fell from the sky. He's impetuous and has likely gotten himself into trouble. {name}, go to that place and find him, please.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stop the PlagueBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I'm convinced that the plague is being caused by something in the caves up there. <class>, I want you to take these seeds. I normally use them as a ward against the Scourge, though perhaps they can be used to disrupt whatever foulness is happening in the dens.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fallen NecropolisBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    The fallen necropolis to the west can only be assumed to still be filled with Scourge. While you are at Talramas, <class>, I would ask that you dispatch all of the Lich King's servants that you find within and in the surrounding pools where it fell.
