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).

Dr. Hieronymus Blam says: Hey, look! It's flying!
Eye of the Watchers says: Boot-up protocol completed. Scanning for objective...
Eye of the Watchers says: Objective identified. Scanning...
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly detected. Probable source: Azerothian Old God. Attempting to excise anomaly...
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly excised. Repeating sub-protocol...
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly excised. Repeating sub-protocol...
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly excised. Re-assembling remaining material...
Eye of the Watchers says: Viable subject compiled. No anomalies detected.
Eye of the Watchers says: User-objective protocol complete. Stasis protocol re-enabled.

Blam then gives you the quest Into the Dragon's Mouth to bring the purified egg(s) to Rhea.

Which leads to Lead Prospector Durdin and the Chain quest "The Sentinel's Pawn" and "The Warden's Pawn" The Warden's Pawn, and this quest.

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.
