If you are trying to do the 20th anniversary secret for the felcycle and find yourself phased while trying to enter Karazan -- completing this quest chain fixes the issue.
It also rewards 1k AP, that's worth noting.

Description
I held out as long as I could, but... the whispers were too strong. You must hurry to Karazhan. The Black Prince said he intended to study the artifacts stored within its catacombs. Please, do not allow my failure to bring about his doom!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Black Winged Shadow
Obviously, the Black Prince isn't here. Trust me when I say he's not an easy one to find. If I were you, I'd make my way to Blackrock Mountain. There's a terrace carved into its slopes, where Nefarian once made his lair. Wrathion has been monitoring that place for a long time.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On the Trail of the Black Prince
<It looks like a fight took place here. N'Zoth's agents must have already entered the catacombs beneath Karazhan. The dead lookout still has a set of keys on him. Perhaps they will unlock the door.
