This chain begins differently depending on whether you're Alliance (A) or Horde (H):
Alliance - starts in Wildhammer Stronghold from Zorus the Judicator:
1. (A) [69] A Ghost in the Machine
2. (A) [69] Harbingers of Shadowmoon
3. (A) [70] Teron Gorefiend - Lore and LegendHorde - starts in Shadowmoon Village from Chief Apothecary Hildagard:
1. (H) [69] A Haunted History
2. (H) [69] Spectrecles
3. (H) [70] Teron Gorefiend - Lore and LegendAt this point the chain splits into three parts which can be done in any order (and by both factions):
4a. [70] Divination: Gorefiend's Cloak
4b. [70] Divination: Gorefiend's Truncheon [2 players]
4c. [70] Divination: Gorefiend's Armor [5 players]After collected Gorefiend's stuff and returned it to the spirit, you will get:
5. (A) [70] Teron Gorefiend, I am...
5. (H) [70] Teron Gorefiend, I am...For this final quest, Gorefiend becomes your "pet" and you control him using a pet bar. Having used him to kill Karsius, you return to Zorus or Hildagard to claim your reward. Choose from:
Evoker's Helmet of Second Sight (cloth DPS headpiece)
Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight (leather melee headpiece)
Druidic Helmet of Second Sight (leather magical headpiece)
Stalker's Helmet of Second Sight (mail +AP headpiece)
Shamanistic Helmet of Second Sight (mail +dmg headpiece)
Overlord's Helmet of Second Sight (plate DPS headpiece)Edit: converted to new tag format to fix URL overload problem.
When you accept the quest you'll get to control Teron Gorefiend and a pet action bar pops up. He has 4 spells he can cast (Haste, Unholy armor, Touch of Darkness, Death and Decay). Start the fight with turning on Haste and Unholy armor. Cast Death and Decay on Karsius and auto attack him in the Death and Decay cloud. After that just keep auto attacking him and recast every spell once they have cooled down.

Evoker's Helmet of Second Sight
Overlord's Helmet of Second SightDescription
With Gorefiend's items restored, there is but one last piece to this puzzle: A host. <The ancient shadowmoon spirit's lips curl up to form a wicked grin.> Surely you did not believe the fairy tale that I told you. The Altar of Shadows is my prison. Without your help, I would have been stuck here for all eternity. Now, I will take over your body and you will destroy my captors and break these bonds. Refuse and we will both be stuck here forever. Teron Gorefiend will be free!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Divination: Gorefiend's Truncheon
One by one they knelt before him, offering their lives as a show of allegiance. Gorefiend hoisted his sickle and cut clean their heads. Shortly after this slaughter, Gorefiend took his own life. But this was no act of contrition! No, Gorefiend sought immortality!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Enraged Spirits of Fire and Earth
We must try and make amends. We must commune with the elements of this region and see if anything can be done! I grant you the totem of spirits, <race>. If you slay an enraged elemental spirit in close proximity of the totem, it will consume the elemental's soul.
