Description
Inside the chest, you find a small, circular device, resting upon a cushion.
If there are any titan artifacts to be found here in the tomb, this is it. You resolve to bring it back to Dr. Blam.
The artifact retrieved from the previous quest The Titans' Trove turns out to be an active Eye of the Watchers. It starts to fly when Blam activates it and purifies the tainted dragon eggs retrieved earlier from Third Sample: Implanted Eggs (Nyxondra's Eggs).

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Badlands, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
