Temple of the Damned - Kod'Taz GoD Progression

 This quest becomes available after completing the Martyrs Passage quest given to you by Kevren Nalavat. Much like Martyrs Passage this quest doesn't take place inside of an instance so you can get as much outside help as you'd like. You can accept this quest too from Kevren, just follow this short bit of dialogue:

Hail, Kevren Nalavat
What's the problem?
I will discover their plans...

 As for what to do for this quest, our first stop is Temple of the Damned which is just southeast of Kevren. In the final chamber you'll find a pile of bones on the floor; shown in my screen shot below. Prepare yourself before you /open this because it'll begin a tough fight.

 When you open the pile of bones 5 enemies spawn, 4 of them are Pixtt Priest Guardians and they engage you instantly but the 5th, a Pixtt Priest Summoner, is locked for right now. These enemies hit for a max of 1.3k and each of them can be stunned/mezzed making this whole encounter much easier if you have an Enchanter. Tanks, use Fortitude for this part to give your mezzer enough time to handle the situation. Save your other cooldowns because the next fight is the hard one.

 Once all four Pixtt Priest Guardians are defeated the Pixtt Priest Summoner will attack you. This guy hits for a max of 2k and is immune to all forms of crowd control as well as any stuns. Tanks should use their defensive discs for this guy.

 Each of the Pixtt Priest Guardians drops 6 Glyph of the Damneds - you need 1 Glyph from each of the four Pixtt Priest Guardians. They drop 6 for each person in your group to loot one. Each of them is Lore which makes things easier - be sure you do not miss one otherwise you'll need to do this entire encounter again.

Return to Kevren once you've collected all four of the Glyph of the Damned items. Now, for this next part, TURN THEM INTO KEVREN ONE AT A TIME!! If you turn all four items into him at the same time he'll eat them all and you'll have to redo this part of the quest. Once you see the dialogue paragraph that begins with, "Kevren examines the strange glyphs" stop giving him glyphs or he'll begin eating them. We need these four glyphs for the next part of the quest so be sure you don't screw this part up!

To make sure you're ready to proceed, tell Kevren "progress update" and you should see the following added to your list:

Finished! - You've recovered important glyphs from the Temple of the Damned! 
Pending - You haven't translated the glyphs gathered from the Temple of the Damned. 
Kod'Taz still has secrets left to uncover...

If you do, then proceed back down south to the Martyrs Passage area where you will find Tublik Narwethar.

Once you find Tublik in the southern part of the zone, hail him and go through the following dialogue:

Hail, Tublik Narwethar
I need a stone tablet
It's for a Glyph of the Damned
((Hand Tublik a Glyph of the Damned))

The next part of this task takes place in Martyrs Passage again. You will need to find four 'Pile of Dust' which are ground spawns and combine them with all four Glyph of the Damned inside of the Stone Tablet. If you're using Goodurden's Map Pack you'll see the location of all the Piles of Dust on your map.

Once you have all four Piles of Dust slap them into the Stone Tablet with your Glyphs of the Damned and hit combine. Return the Translated Glyph of the Damned to Kevren Nalavat in the northern portion of Kod'Taz to complete the quest.

Successfully completing this quest will give you the following progress update from Kevren:
