Took me 50 mins to figure out the quest, and i blame the above comments.
Let me explain it in the most simply way.
Just east of the quest giver you will find a lone Lumbering Atrocity, that's the place where you need to bring your gheist to.
Can't believe why people always need make it so complicated.
If you happen to run out of time and the gheist breaks free, just damage it again untill it gets weakened, and you will be able to re-enslave it.
It won't evade like you would expect from a monster that's taken away from his spawn point.
Ranked to +5, now downranked to +1 :/
Seems a pretty helpfull comment to me, beats reading all the complicated stuff

Finally got this done as a 110 hunter after AGES of trying. Turned out the dumbest thing I could think of actually worked...[item=137663] . Have fun!

This quest was very interesting. I was trying every possible way I read here and nothing worked. So I thought - just one last attempt and then go to hell. Accidentally I pulled 2 of them, brought the first one to approx. 25%, subdued and started attacking the 2nd one. The subdued one started running, jumped down from the cliff and I got credit.
So, the advice: just pull him off the bridge, bring down a bit, subdue, if it doesn't work, run a lil' bit around and try again.

Description

First things first. I saw some Lithe Stalkers on the ramparts just east of us. They used to serve us before we broke with Arthas, and they're about as perfect a scout as you can get... with a little prodding from an eye of dominion. Fly up, find one of the stalkers, beat it down a bit, and then use this Sigil of the Ebon Blade to command its obedience. It will recognize the sigil, guaranteed. Lead it back to the top of the rocks northeast of here and it will find its way to me.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Vereth the CunningIcecrown · Level 25-30
I've already heard some rumors regarding Malykriss and Arthas's new death knight order, but I assumed it nothing more than filling the void. These numbers suggest he's trying to take it up a notch though. We dispatched one of our best to Malykriss not long ago - Vereth the Cunning.
