Don't do like me when accepting the quest and walk to the marker on the map, go through the portal in front of the quest giver.

I was honestly surprised when the power-hungry, morally-questionable Elf was able to absorb and control Fel-energy without succumbing to it's evil influence. I'm so glad his powers are now fighting for the good of Azeroth and he didn't turn evil and want to kill me!
It may be hard to find Thalyssra because she has a gray ? over her head. I just thought it was another incomplete quest and didn't check the NPC's name. Kept looking for a yellow ?
Turns out you need to click her to activate the yellow quest ? mark
She will be in the center area of the upper floor.

I have had it with these small fry, assistant. Time to go straight to the top. The tome is the key! The key to unlocking the potential within our people. Do not worry, young one. I have enough power to complete the task at hand. Let us harness fel magic and change the future. Follow me and witness the redemption of the shal'dorei!

I need more power. I need more! I can control the energies, and they are enough to sustain me. For now. I will not end up withered, like those weaklings. Go out into Felsoul Hold and slay the demons. Bring me their essence and make it quick!
