TheWoWDBRandom lore-speculation: This questline implies Imperator Pertinax is operating from a former Legion world, which is also associated with Permafrost.
This could be referring to the planet Val, which we visited back in Legion as an Invasion Point.

The 12.0.7 announcement proved you correct, good call :D
Quest appears bugged. When selecting the 2nd dialogue "Why would a domanaar use a Burning Legion keystone?" nothing happens.
Update: Abandoned the quest and tried again and this time it proceeded to a third panel.

Description
<Several void-touched runes flicker across the keystone's surface before dissipating one by one. As the last rune fades, so does the faint hum of power within, leaving nothing but a painfully cold sphere of dark green metal.> Although it doesn't resemble other domanaar artifacts, there was no mistaking the cold, dark magic. Perhaps Decimus in the Howling Ridge can provide you with more information.>
