TheWoWDBDO NOT GO INTO THE PORTAL!
When you get this quest, a new icon should appear on the middle of the screen right below your character. Clicking it will order your servants to kill your prisoners. If it does not appear, abandon the quest and take it again. Then, *do not click on the portal yet*! Instead, click on the two portal stands on each side. Finally, complete the quest.
Note: I was not able to find any follow-up to this quest :(

Description
I was able to make contact with our forces on Mardum - they secured the Fel Hammer after our departure all those years ago and have held it ever since! Malevolence has utilized the ship's warp systems to transport the bulk of our forces aboard, but doing so greatly taxes what little power remains. I believe there to be a better way. Your glaives carry a piece of the power of Kil'jaeden - you should be able to use them to open a permanent gateway to the Fel Hammer.

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.

<Kor'vas glances at your glaives, her eyes widening.> I'm excited to see what those can do in person! Maybe we can spar a bit before heading out on the next hunt? While you were gone we built a camp just off of this landing to help us watch over the Legion's movements.
