Shattered Halls
Hellfire Citadel, Hellfire Penninsula

Quest chain starts with Primed Key Mold, which drops from Smith Gorlunk, in Shadowmoon Valley. He's sitting to the north of the entrance to the Black Temple. If you're level 70 with a flying mount, you can reach him no problem. Starting the quest from the mold sends you to Force Commander Danath Trollbane, in Honor Hold. Danath sends you to Dumphry, the Grand Master Blacksmith. He gives you a quest to obtain 4 Fel Iron Bars, 2 Arcane Dust, and 4 Mote of Fire, which he uses to make and Unfired Key Mold. You then have to take that mold and use it on a Fel Reaver that you kill to turn it into Charred Key Mold. Returning the Charred Key Mold to Dumphry completes the quest and gives you the Shattered Halls Key.


Shadow Labyrinth
Auchindoun, Terrokar Forest

The Shadow Labyrinth Key drops from Talon King Ikiss in Sethekk Halls.


The Arcatraz
Tempest Keep, Netherstorm

Quest chain starts at Anchorite Karja in Area 52 in Netherstorm who sends you to talk to Nether-Stalker Khay'ji. He starts a long chain of quests, the first of which has you kill a level 69 Demon, Pentatharon, who drops a Arklon Crystal Artifact. The next quest is to collect 10 Zaxxis Insignia (this quest is also repeatable for Consortium Rep.) Then he will ask you to kill Warp-Raider Nesaad. When you complete that, Khay'ji will send you to talk to Gahruj, in the Biodome in Netherstorm. He will have you collect 10 Box of Surveying Equipment, which you will then deliver to Nexus-Prince Haramud in Stormspire. Haramud will then send you on 3 quests to locate triangulation points. The third part's goal is the Ata'mal Crystal which drops from an Culuthas, a level 70 elite demon. Turning the crystal back in to Haramud starts another chain -- first you turn the crystal in to A'dal in Shattrath, who sends you on the next part to obtain two halves of the key from Warp Splinter in the Botanica and from Pathaleon the Calculator in the Mechanar which he combines to form the key. (And then provides a quest for the Arcatraz as well.)


Karazhan (10 man raid)
Karazhan, Deadwing Pass

The quest chain starts at an NPC just outside of Karazhan. Archmage Alturus has two quests to do outside of the instance. When you complete them, he will send you to talk to Archmage Cedric on the northern side of Dalaran. Cedric then sends you to Shattrath to talk to Khadgar (the guy who sent you on a tour of the city when you first arrived.) Khadgar gives you a series of two quests to find the fragments of the key to Karazhan, which he had hidden. The first is in the Shadow Labs. The second is in the Steamvaults, the third is in Arcatraz (which means you need your Arcatraz key first). When you have all three parts, Khadgar combines them as the Restored Apprentice's Key and sends you to talk to Medivh in The Black Morass in the Caverns of Time. Successfully complete the event instance, talk to Medivh and then return to Khadgar, and you are rewarded with The Master's Key and more quests for Kharazan.


The Black Morass
Caverns of Time, Tanaris

All you have to do is complete Escape from Durnholde.


Serpentshrine Cavern (25 man raid)
Coilfang Reservoir, Zangarmarsh

The attunement quest line starts at Skar'this the Heretic when running The Slave Pens in Heroic Mode. He gives you a quest to obtain the Earthen Signet from Gruul the Dragonkiller in Gruul's Lair, and the Blazing Signet from Nightbane in Karazhan.


The Eye (25 man raid)
Tempest Keep, Netherstorm

To even open up the availability of the attunement quest line, you have to complete the Cipher of Damnation quest line that starts in Shadowmoon Valley at Earthmender Splinthoof for Horde, or Earthmender Sophorus for Alliance. That starts an 8 part quest line that then opens up 3 other quest lines to find the Fragments of Damnation. When you collect those 3, you then get to kill Cyrukh the Firelord, in Shadowmoon Valley. Khadgar will then mail you to go talk to A'dal to start a 4 part quest line. The basic thing is that you must run Shattered Halls, Shadow Labyrinth, Steamvaults, and Arcatraz on Heroic Mode and then you have to kill Magtheridon (which can be done on Normal Mode, not Heroic.)


Battle of Mount Hyjal (25 man raid)
Caverns of Time, Tanaris

The Attunement quest for Mount Hyjal starts at Soridormi in the Caverns of Time. She wants you to kill Lady Vashj in Serpentshrine Cavern, and Kael'Thas Sunstrider in The Eye and retrieve their Vial Remnants.
