TheWoWDBHad a glitch with this quest where Lord Blackbale wouldn't drop the Orders. Killed him 3 times and no drop. Abandoned quest and re-accepted it and the orders dropped for me.

Did this quest as a human dk, did not know you were not suppose to kill Bolt because if you try Lord Blackblade will just respawn while your still attacking bolt. So yeah just run but you may still die ><
I pulled from a distance, Bolt didn't aggro.

Description
I noticed that you were surprised to find those strange weapons here. I sense the essence of their power as well. It is strangely familiar... We must discover where the weapons came from and who imbued them with such power. <Kael'thas smiles.> If you and I present the proof to the Accuser together, perhaps she shall allow us to hunt down whoever is behind all of this!
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.
- Maldraxxian Weapons
<The weapon you find seems unlike those wielded by most venthyr, yet the marks it bears are unmistakably familiar... It would be wise to seek out more such weapons and bring them to the Accuser.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reconnaissance... for my, uh, Recovery
It appears I am at your mercy once more, <name>. Far be it from me to tell you the best way to absolve my sins as the Accuser insists we do. However... In that note, the Tithelord arranged a meeting with his contact in Darkhaven. Do you know where that is?
