Just found out the hard way: don't go into a dungeon while having this quest. It will bug out, the NPC and teleport crystal will vanish.
Nevermind: turns out I lost the "time travel" buff ><

Description
Like any good bloodmage, I perform my magic with blood. All blood is different, and the Blasted Lands has several useful flavors, if you know where to look. For our purposes? Basilisks and hyenas, even amounts. We're going to need plenty of it. Head west, to the center of the Blasted Lands. And don't forget... you can use that teleporter!

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.
- Attune the Bloodstone
Did you have fun fighting your way to the back of this cave? I admit, I haven't picked the most... convenient of spots to perform my studies, especially for passing adventurers who wish to enter and leave at will. However, I can allow you to attune yourself to my bloodstone teleporters.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blood Ritual
I suppose you want to know what we're doing. Here's the short version - a version at which I happen to be an expert: The Shadowsworn cultists wish to summon the demon, Razelikh, back to the Blasted Lands. We cannot allow this to happen. So we're going to summon him ourselves, and then kill him.
