One note on this quest - do not head back into the catacombs. Hop on your flying mount and you'll find the location. Save yourself some time (unlike me).

Remember, you're not in the Broken Isles anymore, YOU CAN FLY HERE!
Speaking of that... Good news everyone! We can fly here... Totally spaced on that idea.

What to do
Description
With the ley lines protected we must move to secure the tower's perimeter. Around the tower are several locations where corruption continues to run rampant. Seek out these locations and secure them with these wards. With the progress we've made so far, bolstering our defenses should keep the remaining Legion's forces at bay just long enough for us to discover who's behind their efforts.
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.
- Corruption Runs Deep
Everything the Legion touches is marred by fingerprints of their corruption. If I can study the traces of magic they leave behind, perhaps I can discern their plans for Karazhan. This vial is specially reinforced to contain fel magic.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Thought Collection
While I examine these samples further, I ask that you seek out one of our patrols in the structure to the north. It appears they've captured one of the demons. Go, interrogate it. Find out anything you can. And hurry! I'm afraid time is no longer an ally.
