Quest Giver Thassarian is in the Wailing Ziggurat at:
[84.81, 41.68] I’m standing on him reading the quest info now.Enter the Temple City at:
[83.74, 31.86] Standing in the middle of the gate.Coordinates noted while standing on dead bodies before looting scrolls:
[83.90, 20.50]
[88.06, 20.93]
[89.37, 28.85]High Priest Neferset’s Scroll, Temple of Decay [83.90, 20.50], Far left temple. Up the ramp, kill the guys channeling him, then kill him. He’s the big beetle.
High Priest Andorath’s Scroll, Spire of Blood [88.06, 20.93] Center Temple. Up the ramp, left at the stairs, follow path around to entrance on your right. Humanoid. Kill it.
High Priest Talet Kha’s Scroll, Spire of Pain, [89.37, 28.85] Right hand side Temple, up the stairs. Destroy the webs then him.
The right information in a format easily understood and put to use is the most helpful. Less epeen moar coards!
For Andorath you need to go up the stairs outside of the room, i just ran up the stairs and went in teh room and waited about 10 minutes for him to "respawn" before i fumbled around and accidentally found him above.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Buying Some Time
Now that we have this phylactery, I shouldn't have any problems getting the information I need. It won't take long for the Scourge in the Temple City to notice something's up, however. I won't be able to fend off a full scale attack here. Or maybe I would... but I'd rather not find out.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Last Rites
I served Arthas in death, because I had no choice. He had control over my will and my body. The Cult of the Damned serves Arthas in life... willingly. Now that we know the words of power to enter Naxxanar we can put an end to the cultist blight.
