If you're having the same problem I had, check your quest log to see if you have the reenact the crime quest already. It is the second step in the chain. It leads you to the West Sanctum and does not show on the map. Use the item Arcane Timepiece at the West Sanctum in your bags and it will reveal the objective on your map. Hope this helps!

This is a breadcrumb quest, leading into the "Theft Tracking" questline.
I checked my bag and sure enough, I had the timepiece. I went back to the West Sanctum, used it, and now i can keep going. I just had this questline and the one that requires 90 left. Thank you!

Description
A little lesson. Trying to fool me twice is a grave error. My dim-witted pupil has yet to return from their rendezvous with their acquaintance. Normally I would not bat an eye, but he has a journal of mine. I want that journal back. Would you be a dear and remind him?
