This questline is great for tanks gearing up for heroic because one of the final rewards is [item=63745]. It's a longish questline, but well worth doing as this is a really good trinket. It took me about 2 hours to get to the quest that gives this item, I've kept a log of the quests and I hope this post is useful to people considering taking this on. Chains that are marked in Wowhead are grouped together, non-obvious jumps are on the next paragraph.

I'm having the same problem with acquiring the quest... Lachlan Macgraff is acting as though the wedding never happened.... I've flown all over Twilight Highlands looking for a quest to continue on but I can't find anything... Says I've only done 90 of 120 quests in the area... Has anyone had any luck with getting this fixed?

Description

I can't believe it, {name}. Me own son - me own flesh and blood! Throwing his lot in with those fiends from the Twilight's Hammer. Did you see what he became when he tried to destroy the wedding? Oh ... why? Why? It's that beast, {name}. The enormous mouth emerging from the earth to our west. "The Maw of Madness!" My son said it spoke to him, but I thought it was just nightmares. The Earthen Ring is trying to destroy it. Go to Earthcaller Torunscar, west of here, and see how you can help!
