Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "From what I was able to uncover so far, I believe this area was once a place used by powerful Gharu'ndim War Mages. Any relics you find may be difficult for you to use. Yet, perhaps you will be able to understand what I could not. You can't go down there if you're not level 20, in fact I wouldn't go down there if I were you. Just forget the whole thing, you're better off that way."
