TheWoWDBIn case anyone else is trying to do this post-9.1 patch: the map and quest tracking text will tell you to go to Torghast, but when you get there it tells you to exit Torghast. Ignore it! When you first zone into Torghast, turn to your right and head South! You'll see a large door with a lock on it, and a question mark over the lock. This is where you turn in the quest. Hope this saves someone time!

Description
I discovered an interesting item off the Warden you killed in the tower. Best not to ask how I know what you do and where you do it within the tower. Let's just say, I have my ways. But this key could lead to something interesting within Torghast. Or something horrible. Most likely horrible. You ought to explore a bit and see what it unlocks.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Search for Baine
I dare not step inside that accursed tower myself, of course. While I cannot tell you exactly where your comrade is being held, I offer a gift to assist you. Use it inside Torghast. It should take you somewhere near your missing ally. Baine Bloodhoof was his name, yes?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Deep Within
Who... who are you? Have you come to extract more of my memories? I'm afraid there aren't any useful ones left, save for the memories of my imprisonment. Or perhaps you're here for something else?
