Standing looking at the entrance at 73.63, 32.42. It's behind the waterfall.
So the imp mother will cast a spell summoning imps, and your first reaction will be to interrupt it. Don't, you need her to cast the spell so you can kill the imps for soul shards. I died to her twice by interrupting every spell cast. Just let her cast and then kill the imps for health.

Description
See this giant cave? There's a terrifyingly powerful imp mother inside. But that's not the good part. The good part is what she has. Apparently, she's some kind of keeper of fel secrets. She's in there performing profane Legion rites and scribing them into a book. We need that power! We need her tome!
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.
- Into the Foul Creche
One of the demons that I interrogated revealed a particularly juicy bit of information. Apparently, there's an imp mother in the volcano that scribes Legion secrets. Kor'vas has gone out to find that demon and bring those secrets back for us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fel Secrets
The demons made a grave error inscribing their secrets into this book. The fel energy emanating from it is potent. But there's only enough to enact one of the rituals. After that, the book will be consumed. It's up to you to choose which secrets we want to use against the Burning Legion.
The storyline at a glance
The Key to Defeating the Legion has 21 steps, from The Invasion Begins to Return to the Black Temple.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Mardum, the Shattered Abyss (21).
