The 40+ (it is listed in game as a level 50 heroic) quest for the Screaming Mace begins with dropped loot "An
Ill Fated Cleric Journal."  This starter drops from Agony a 45-47^^ mob in eastern Cazic Thule around the big lake.  Terror
wraiths are the placeholders, clear these a few times and Agony will
likely pop along with a couple other linked mobs.  Inspect the journal to begin the quest. Note that you'll need a group for just about every step of this longish quest, and a group consisting of mainly 45+ is recommended.



The first step is to kill 4
named lizardmen; Torturer, Cenobite, Despoiler, and Champion, plus an
additional 40 lizardmen.  You'll kill the 40 lizards easily while
clearing for the nameds.



Torturer: Enter the temple
from below.  When you come to a dead end with a left and righthand
door, go through the righthand door and the first room you come to with
the double pop of grouped lizards is where Torturer spawns (loc -45, 1, 5).  Clear
until he pops.  The room where you get the lizardman legend and
lore book also reportedly spawns Torturer too.



Cenobite and the Champion: Head to the top of
the 2 temples beside Venekor, this is where Cenobite pops. Keep clearing the mobs on top of the two towers (loc -53, 41, -102 and 51, 25, -109) on either side and eventually both of these mobs will pop. This used to be a painfully long camp, but I managed to snag them within a couple of hours.




Despoiler:  Not too long
of a step: you'll want to grab the side quest for this NM too. 
Talk to the NPC to the left of the stairs up to the temple to get the
side quest.  Despoiler pops behind the ruined walls at the top of
the temple steps, he's mixed in with the spiders and goo (loc 38, 24, -23).

Second step:  You'll need
to play waterboy.  Head to the pool at the large temple behind
Venekor, and jump in.  The update comes from the narrow drain
inside the pool.  Note that once you complete this step you'll
have an hour to get it to the basin inside the temple.



Back where you dealt with Thulian fiends on your way to Torturer, there
was a dead end with a right and lefthand door.  Take a left this
time, work your way into the room and you'll see a pool.  The
basin in the center is what you need, double click for your update.



Third step:  The thulian
terrorfiends are your targets. 
Just keep clearing the left and right rooms of fiends and terrorfiends
will pop on occasion with a chance for an update.  The drop rates on these dramatically improved, and most people are seeing it drop on the first kill or two.



Fourth step: The worst is
over!  Zone into the Sanctum of Fear (you'll choose the appropriate instance at the door) to kill a 50^^ NM OR group of
50 no-ups.  No need for Sanctum access to complete this
step.  There's two zone-ins for the Sanctum, here's directions to
one: Beneath the temple, you'll find a double pop of steel
golems.  Directly beside the room is a passage that leads to a
Sanctum zone-in.  Next step is to click on the idols you see in
the instanced zone that pops the aforementioned mobs.  With your
balanced group of 45+ it's a piece of cake.



Congratulations on your Screaming Mace
