Frost: The Thieving Apprentice

Travel to Xylem's Tower within Bear's Head in Azshara.

The Focusing Iris has been stolen from the Dalaran Vaults! The thief was a mage of some skill, but we've been unable to track him.

Fortunately, the thief dropped a note from his master, addressing him as one of his "apprentici." I know of only one mage who uses that particular pluralization - Archmage Xylem.

I'll need you to investigate. In Azshara you will find his tower where he trains his apprentices. Go there, and see what Xylem is up to.

So someone stole the Focusing Iris and you suspect Xylem might be the culprit? You may be right.

It is no secret that the archmage has been seeking artifacts of late. However, after the discovery of an ancient grimoire in the Legashi ruins, Xylem has become... unstable. I fear the grimoire may be stealing his mind.

I can help you gain audience with the archmage. With any luck, you can reclaim the Iris peacefully.
