Joanna will be at the top of the tower for a player who's done the Legion artifact upgrade quests involving Archmage Xylem, but the portal to the spirit realm/location of Azuregos isn't behind her it's down at the bottom of the tower where her original location was.

The death must be scripted in, even after casting Levitate you still die when you contact the ground. An interesting tidbit, if you simply jump off the cliff and land in the area where Azuregos is you won't take even 1hp of fall damage.
Oh boy, this is a beautiful quest. I love the dialogue between Azuregos and the player.
"I know, I know, it could never work out ... a Dragon and a Spirit Healer."

What to do
Description
Azuregos! Yes, of course. Troubled old dragon, but lovely heart. I don't think all the years of vagabonds assaulting him have done him much good. He's a mite strange these days. Not long ago, when returning yet again to our local Spirit Healer, Anara, I couldn't help but notice that her and Azuregos seemed to be hitting it off. I imagine he's still keeping her company. The portal behind me is probably the quickest way to reach her. It might sting a little though.
