From the Friend and Foe event.

Turbine quest teaser: "Ten months ago, the Burun named Torgluuk turned on Niarltah and Muldaveus, the leaders of the Tumerok and Lugian Renegades. Since that day, their whereabouts have been unknown. Level 80 characters and above are being recruited by a wanderer who seeks to follow the Lugian Warlord's trail!"

Note: Even though Turbine's teaser states the quest is restricted to Levels 80+, lower levels may complete this quest.

To begin the quest, speak with Mancanza the Wanderer in Silyun. You can reach Silyun via the portal from Sanamar at 76.5N, 58.6W or by purchasing a portal gem from Luressi di Maki for an V note (buy a few before you begin).

NPC: Mancanza the Wanderer - 87.0N, 70.4W

Mancanza the Wanderer gives you Muldaveus Sightings.
Mancanza the Wanderer tells you, "I have been wandering these lands in search of the Lugian Renegade Muldaveus. My journey has not gotten me very far. All I have found so far is a torn journal page, and various rumors that he may have survived his tangle with the Burun. I have written down several of these Muldaveus "sightings", and I was wondering if you could help me investigate. Go to these places. See if you can bring me any clues to his whereabouts. Good Luck!"

Rumor: Muldaveus Sightings

You'll be collecting 4 pages in various locations. Once you have them, combine them and return them to  Mancanza.
