Freya's Pact (Spoiler Alert!)
Here is what the Avatar of Freya has to say:The Scourge are a blemish upon these pristine lands. By the might of my creators, I will crush every last one of their decrepit bones under my heel.
I want to stop the Scourge as much as you do. How can I help?The titans did not create life overnight. The process was gradual and required a great deal of experimentation and iteration.
It is for that reason that highly protected places such as Sholazar Basin exist.
To ensure the safety of their experimentation sites, the titans created a defense mechanism. Its destructive force is unparalleled however, and I will reveal no more unless you swear your fealty to my cause.
You can trust me. I am no friend of the Lich King's.
It borders on sacrilege that these secrets be revealed to a mortal such as yourself, but I have little choice.
Ever since Freya, daughter of the titans, left me here I've had but one task and I cannot fail. Life must be protected at any cost.
There is a waygate that links this place with another very much like this one. It is there that the weapon we seek can be found.
I will not fail.

In my honest opinion, this is one of the more satisfying quests in WotLK. This quest, and the ones following it, just give you that "I am that damn important" feeling. It's the kind of quest that you can just hear dramatic music behind you as you unearth the hidden mysteries of the Titans.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Lifewarden's Wrath
We were not quick enough, <name>. The cultist scum have arrived at the Glimmering Pillar and are making preparations to destroy it, I can sense them. We don't have much time. Blow upon this horn atop the Glimmering Pillar to channel my power through the crystal.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Powering the Waygate - The Makers' Perch
It is time then. Let us activate the waygate. You will find the first switch inside the Makers' Perch in the western edge of the basin. Beware, <name>. The titans used the perch to watch over their creations. Many of their stone servants still guard the place.
