Notes

Fly past Irontree's inn stronghold to the third flamegate at ^{[64.9, 54.1]}

on the Scorched Plain. This flamegate drops in to the Crucible of Flame of the Firelands. Garunda Mountainpeak is just inside, guarding two Children of Tortolla. Pay attention to his gossip text as he completes the quest:

I cannot fathom the origin or purpose of this place.

These corridors are used for troop movements, yes, but they're also littered with charred and tortured corpsoes, some partially devoured, most simply crushed and beaten.

We are in the Firelands, but I feel as though we've crossed the threshold into hell.
