I think the chain starts in Shadowmoon with your faction
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10687 (scryers) and http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10587 (aldor) - both of those chains lead you to Altruis, who then gives http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10646, leading to 'Book of Fel Names' which is the item needed for the next part here. This is all guessing; I'm about to try it.

I've done the Karabor Training Grounds series leading me to Altruis who gives me 3 quests : http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10669 http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10668 http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10641 but not this one. So I guess this one should follow later ;)

Description

This book... I could use it to increase my power tenfold... No! It would end up corrupting my very soul, this I am sure of. Return to those who sent you here, {name}. You now have the means to stop Varedis. Wait until he manifests his demonic form through metamorphosis, at that point you will need to burn the book in his presence. That will be the only way you can deprive him of his power.

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 Book of Fel NamesShadow Labyrinth · Level 25-30

    I sympathize with your intentions of stopping Varedis and his followers, but you won't stand a chance against him. That is, unless you find the artifact that gave him his power.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Varedis Must Be StoppedShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    We must dispose of this foul artifact, but not before we use it to dispose of Varedis's powers. We need to permanently shut down the Ruins of Karabor training grounds, which will mean killing not only Varedis but also the three night elf masters that assist him: Alandien, Theras and Netharel.
