I find it odd that no one ever bothered to mention that this quest is a reference to a story by H.P. Lovecraft, called 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward', and in the quest he is sentenced for the crime of body snatching, a crime that he often commits in the story :p

You have to kill Dextren Ward. He is at the far end of the left wing in Stockade. At least he was when i killed him, might be somewhere else considering its such a small instance....

Stockades is an instanced zone within Stormwind City. It's in the fort-looking building that's just NW of the trade district as you come into the city. (directly north of the enchanter's shop if you are familiar with that or just ask a guard)

Stockades is populated with 23/24ish and up elites. The bosses are 27/28ish elites.

The zone is essentially a T shape. As you come in you are at the bottom of the T.

Along each hallway there are several rooms that lead off to the sides. These are populated with 3 or 4 elite mobs each.

Be aware that runners will often turn into these rooms as they flee. So be sure to either A) stop all runners, B) be high enough to not care about the 3 adds or C) clear all rooms as you pass them.

Dextren Ward can be found by heading straight in, and taking the first hallway turn to the left. Be aware that theer is a respawning wanderer that paths between the two branches of the T and could be comming up behind you at any given point.

Down the Left hallway you go, until it opens into a larger room at the end. This larger room has 3 smaller rooms off of it. The large room will have 3 to 4 elites in it. Each smaller room will have approximately 3 elites in them.

As you come into the large room Dextren Ward can be found in the smaller room off to the right. In there you'll almost always find 3 elites plus Dextren Ward. He's dressed as a caster but does not seem to cast when I fight him.

Generally spekaing, Stockades is a very short zone for an instance and there are several quests for things inside of it. Once you are approximately level 30, you should have little trouble finding a group willing to go in and clear all rooms, which can be done in very little time with a full group of 30+
