TheWoWDBIf you find the dragon mother in the cave but the quest doesn't seem to be progressing, you may have not gotten credit for entering the cave. Just run back up to the entrance. That worked for me.

Description
Through brute force and corruption, the God-King has taken the power you seek, but there may be hope for you and the Thorignir, {class}. With the aid of fel powers such as I've never seen, the Felskorn are corrupting our young and seeking to enslave the Thorignir. Their leader, a demon of great power, has captured our mother and seeks to bend her to the God-King's will. Find her and free her from the demon's grasp - only then might the Thorignir regain our power and grant you aid.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Above the Winter Moonlight
You should have a good vantage from this tower to grapple over to the mountain path. I can't help you once you're across, but you should be able to take it all the way up to the top. I hope you're able to find what you need from the dragons up there. Who knows what the God-King has done to them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wings of Liberty
When the Felskorn assaulted the nest, the Thorignir fought bravely to save our brood. But their demonic allies proved too much, and many of us were captured. Even now they work to corrupt my brothers and sisters to turn them to their side. Please, outsider, free them from this fate!
