The researchers are actually inside the Aldur'thar, theres an entrance just left of where the summoning crystal is.

Description

The Cult of the Damned are notorious for concocting grandiose plans that in the end, rarely succeed. But something feels different this time.... Perhaps it's the proximity to the Lich King that has their fervor heightened. Whatever it is, they appear to be more confident than ever. We must know what feeds this bravado and then find a way to strip them of it! I believe the key lies with their researchers. Find out what they're up to and report back to me with the details.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Not a BugIcecrown · Level 25-30
Alright, friend, time to plant a bug. Relax, it's not a bug exactly, but it'll serve our purposes. In the northern portion of Aldur'thar the cult's void summoners enslave demonic minions.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

No Rest For The WickedIcecrown · Level 25-30
These fools have actually stumbled upon something that could pose a serious threat to our plans! The leader of this particular sect, Alumeth, has ritualistically sacrificed himself and now his underlings are channeling power to his soul.
