This quest completely messed me up. I thought I was supposed to reach a certain point in Beastwarrens and then kill something or use the item. So I tried to get to the point on the map and I died 3 times. The fear is impossible to deal with. Even after reading comments here I still didn't get it.
The key is that as soon as you enter Beastwarrens (other end of bridge) you need to use the item you were provided when picking up the quest. This makes the fear not happen.

Pretty ridiculous this is only 100 rep...
You should get the quest Rule 6 Addendum: Save Me At Any Cost while doing this one (it will be along the road leading to this area).
The mob you need for Rule 6 Addendum: Save Me At Any Cost is deep in a cave with a lot of mobs that you need for this quest. So be sure to head to the cave as quickly as possible so you can get both quests done as efficiently as possible.
Unfortunately you have to return Rule 6 Addendum: Save Me At Any Cost to the quest giver, so you won't be able to Cypher back to Ve'nari until you do that.

If you're ambivalent already with Ve'nari and don't see her with this quest, remember to do the Broker quest (interrogating you) at the Ring of Transference. Only Then, Ven'ari pops with this one.

Description

I have made a startling discovery, {name}. Do you recall how the captured agents of my cartel were taken to the Beastwarrens? The Mawsworn seem to think they possess a means of tracking me. And now, strange new runes empower the Jailer's hounds. Clearly, we cannot have that. This new cypher will grant you solace from the screeching in the Beastwarrens. Brave its caverns and secure those runes for inspection. If we are to counter their effects, I must know how they work.

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.

Rule 5: Be AudaciousThe Maw · Level 60
You have proven yourself a useful associate, <class>. In thanks, I have crafted a cypher that will allow you to venture further into the Maw. But... it is experimental in nature. You will have to test it in the field. And I have just the test in mind.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Stalking the WarrensThe Maw · Level 60
So, they are creating magical beasts deep within the Warrens. Their power is... substantial. Maw Walker, I must trust in you to handle this. While I can provide insight, in combat I must admit your prowess exceeds my own. Hunt the beasts that they train to hunt us.
