When you passed through Sanctum of Order Teleporter, find Valtrois behind The Arcway meeting stone (turn right as run out teleport and you'll see it). Have a talk, then make your way through broken wall and turn right, follow the stairs down, there you'll see a magic barrier, that covered the passage. Valtrois also will appear and examines the barrier.

Description

If Ly'leth's information is accurate, there is a breach in the Sanctum of Order that could be our only way into the Nighthold. No doubt they have magically sealed it - take Valtrois and protect her while she examines the seal. She is an exceptional talent, and I have total faith in her ability to break whatever enchantment they have cooked up. Valtrois has her own methods of getting into the city and will meet you inside the Sanctum of Order.

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.

  • Those Scrying EyesSuramar · Level 45

    Until recently, Ly'leth was sending magical messages to us regularly from within the Nighthold. She took care to hide these messages - only the most vigilant scryers could have detected them. They could not be within the palace... too much interference from the Nightwell... Of course!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Seal's PowerSuramar · Level 45

    The Nightwell is so overloaded that they could not spare anything for this seal. Instead, they are borrowing power from the ley lines. I have traced one of their power sources to Kel'balor. We should head there immediately so I can determine how best to disable this barrier.
