TheWoWDBForgemaster Finlay can be found at the bottom of Loch verall in the Twilight highlands. His coordinates are 35, 61.
Swim down to him and use the water of life; he then rattles through a quick 45 second monologue before promptly dieing again and allowing you to carry on to hand in the quest.
His monologue is:
Wh...What is this?
I'm dead! Murdered by the Twilight's Hammer
The Spirit of the Loch sent you here, you seek information.
They captured and enslaved us. Put us to work on a weapon.
A special project... an artifact for Cho'gall
We were to be rewarded for the best work we'd ever done, and we were... with this.
They imbued it with the power of an Old God.
Run little twilight cultists, your doom draws near!
The weapon that you seek is called the Hammer of Twilight.
Now leave me be. I see the light...

He is impaled under water at the quest location. Use the item on him.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Coup de Grace
Look at that. Lirastrasza's destroying them! There are still drakes that she's downing that need finishing off, <name>. We don't want the stinking Twilight healers to get them back up into the air. Time for a little Coup de Grace.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mr. Goldmine's Wild Ride
Okay, <name>, we need to get to the earth portal at the back of the cave. I've "procured" a ride for us. Why walk when we can ride in style? I hope you don't mind mine carts. Let me know when you're ready.
