Gul'dan's magic mingled with their own, empowering them to aid this creature in manifesting in our world! We must not allow this to happen, <name>. The death and destruction it would bring are unimaginable!

Go to Cthun summoning place at 41.60 (around), kill all the guards and try to use the staff. It requires an "unguarded place", which I found a bit hard to find. I killed all the summoners and then at the site of the last kill, used the staff and it worked. So the correct place is by the pond where the cthun is being summoned. Keep trying at various locations around it if you get the error message.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Imbuing the HeadpieceShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The staff is nearly finished! All that remains is to imbue the headpiece with power flowing from the echoes of Gul'dan in this accursed place. To the east, near the Fel Pits and south of the Deathforge, is the Altar of Damnation. There, fragments of Gul'dan's past are trapped.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Ghost in the MachineShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    I fear that these dwarves do not understand what they have built upon. This area was once the ancestral grounds for the Shadowmoon orcs. I speak of spirits, <race>. For nearly twenty years they have laid dormant beneath the Wildhammer Stronghold, but recently, something has riled them up.
