TheWoWDBThe first big demon you see will be a named mob Dreadlord that you actually can't kill because its a projection of him and its very deceiving since all the mobs around him are humanoid and not demons, but keep moving farther into the Legion Camp and you'll find the demons you're looking for.
Seemingly low drop-rate, as I had to kill over 40 of them for the item to drop.

Try the Soultorn Jailers farther at the southern end. Could have been luck but after 5 min of killing doombringers and Crushers I tried a Soultorn Jailer and got it.
Try killing the Eredar Supplicants. I've had great success on several of my characters who are enchanters as have guildies killing those for this quest.

Description
I understand you were just here to deliver the vellums, but we could use your skills as a {class}. Our forces can only hold back the demon invasion, disallowing us to send anyone further into the enemy's camp. The stronger of their forces stay in the back, commanding from a distance. They carry enchanted runes to keep control over the frontline demons. I would very much like to study one of these runes. Please retrieve one for me, so we may learn from it and use it against the Legion.
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.
- In the Loop
We could use your help down here, <name>. Some of our hunters would benefit greatly from having those vellums applied to their rings right now. Here take a few. I'll give the rest to one of my other soldiers to hand out.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ringing True
While your presence here would continue to be of value to us, your master in Dalaran has called for you. I'd like to thank you again for all you've done for us. My hunters have been reminded that they're not alone in this war.
