In case anyone is wondering the item drops from the last boss in Maw of Souls, not like the ring which you had to loot from under the stairs on the 1st lvl of the ship.

Description
All of the necessary components have been gathered together. Soon, the unholy steeds of the damned will trample the armies of the Burning Legion. However, our work is not quite done. One item yet remains beyond our grasp... Lurking within the depths of Helheim, the fallen queen Helya rules over the dead. In her possession is a maul, infused with the souls of countless fallen warriors. Bring to me the Maul of the Dead and with it, I will forge barding so impenetrable... no demon shall break it!

Ah, Deathlord. It is good to see you. I happen to have a fascinating task for you, should you be in the mood for adventure. I recently came across an obscure reference to an ancient amulet that was created by Queen Azshara herself!
