Entry Into Karazhan

Entry Into Karazhan is one of the quests in the chain that eventually leads to your acquiring The Master's Key, which you need to enter Karazhan. This is the first quest in the chain that requires you to enter a dungeon (Shadow Labyrinth in Auchindoun).

Objectives
Khadgar wants you to enter the Shadow Labyrinth at Auchindoun and retrieve the First Key Fragment from an Arcane Container hidden there.
 * First Key Fragment

Description
I am deeply troubled by the news in this report,. Gaining entry into Karazhan will be difficult, however.

You see, when it became apparent that I was stranded here I split the key into three fragments.

I placed the keys inside enchanted containers, and in turn placed those in places that were safe at the time.

With the dark changes Outland has endured this no longer is the case. The first fragment is in a section of Auchindoun taken over by the Shadow Council. Return this fragment to me.

Rewards
You will receive:
 * 25,300 XP
 * +250 reputation with The Violet Eye

Progress
Have you obtained the fragment, ? You would do well not to waste any time in this matter.

Completion
You've done well,. I wasn't sure you would succeed.

The containers are enchanted with a potent spell that masks their presence from unworthy eyes. I'm glad to see they did not elude you.
