Maul of the Dead is a Death Knight campaign quest as a drop from Helya within the Maw os Souls dungeon (normal or mythic). As a DK on this quest, it is an auto drop as you defeat her as the last boss of the dungeon on the end of the ship.

The quest is given out by Salanar the Horseman at Acherus by using your Death Gate from Class Hall. More on the dungeon can be found here:

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!
