You need to complete the The Ringing Deeps achievement before you can finish the questline.

This questline (starting with How Scandalous!) breaks at two points, so you have to go and find these quests to continue:

The first break ends with Report to the Councilward and picks back up with The Councilward's Summons, a quest given by [npc=225426] at /way #2214 47.4 32.6 Saradi

The second break ends with The Machine Speakeasy and picks back up with Sedition, a wall poster found at /way #2339 46.0 47.3 Angrily-Scrawled Poster

EDIT: To summarize and consolidate information from other comments on this page:
According to this comment, you'll need to finish The Ringing Deeps to finish this questline.
With regards to The Councilward's Summons:

You can find Saradi and pick up this quest in either Dornogal OR The Ringing Deeps (Additional info from this comment).

Completion of this quest is in Dornogal

Description

Did you see anything? I was just at the Forgegrounds picking up a jewelry commission and all of a sudden everyone was shouting like the Coreway was under attack--again. But it was not that... Some peacekeepers were heading towards the depot--where crafting shipments are sent up from the Deeps. I bet it's something to do with the machine speakers! The peacekeepers ushered everyone away before I could see what had happened. But maybe you can sneak a glimpse?
