Creteus is found, after you loot the chest, at 38,61. He is standing on a little hill, watching the Frosthold and Stormforged dwarves fight by the Engine of the Makers.
When you start this quest, you get accompanied by an elite companion. He hits quite hard - a normal hit for about 1300, and helps you get out of the cave that's besieged by iron dwarves. You'll find that Cretus will have moved to 38, 68 like the post above said.
Quite a cool quest, because of the constant attacks and battles raging outside.

<As you retrieve the core from the chest, you hear the thumping of heavy footsteps rushing towards you from the corridor. There is the faint sound of battle in the distance.>

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fate of the Titans
Norgannon's Core is not at this location. I am not sure why you seek it, <race>, and I am equally unsure if you truly know the purpose of that which you seek. I would like you to aid me before I consider extending my assistance. I have recently encountered knowledge of the watcher, Thorim.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Master Explorer
Combining the keystone will require Norgannon's Binding - a device located in the Engine of the Makers, the large pit beside us. Brann should be down there with the other half of the keystone now. I have instructed him on the use of the device. He awaits your presence.
