Onyxia keys and you.

What all is required to get a key?

I *think* this is the order . . .

1) Do Dragonkin Menace quest in the Burning Steppes: http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1237

2) This will start off a chain of 'talk to this person, talk to that person' that will have you going between SW and Lakeshire. Eventually it will lead back to the Dragonkin Menace quest giver in the Burning Steppes. He will tell you to travel into Blackrock Depths and find a captured man in jail (Windsor).

3) When you find Windsor, he gives you a collection quest (Abandoned Hope). After you turn that in, you will NOT get another quest, but don't panic. Instead you return to BRD. Any mob in the instance will now drop a crumpled up note, which starts the next leg of the chain.

4) More running back and forth and then you get Jail Break! - the escort quest. Be sure to clear the mobs around the prison and the ring of law before starting it. Even then, its quite difficult, but have no fear, we're professionals around here ™.

6) Go back to Stormwind Keep for The Great Masquerade, watch the chaos ensue around the king (don't interfere unless you have a raid group - stay out of aggro radius. The npc can solo it on his own without your help).

7) You then go to Winterspring. Get the quest to kill the general in upper Blackrock Spire and collect his blood. Multiple blood now drops, which is a beautiful thing.

8) After you collect the blood, return to Winterspring to get the Drakefire Amulet, which is your key into Onyxia's Lair.

Thus:

Dragonkin Menace -> The True Masters (part 1, Redridge) -> The True Masters (part 2, SW) -> The True Masters (part 3, back to Redridge) -> The True Masters (part 4, back to Morgan's Vigil in Burning Steppes) -> talk to Ragged John -> talk to Marshal Maxwell -> Marshall Windsor -> Abandoned Hope. Next step begins when you find a Crumpled Note off random drop in BRD. Take it back to Marshall Windsor and get A Shred of Hope -> Jail Break -> Stormwind Rendevous -> The Great Masquerade, and you then get the key to Onyxia's Lair!
