To bring her back to life & obtain her as a mount, you have to collect 5 runekeys, 1 for each rune stone.

Whirling Runekey - Drops from KSVIR the forgotten. This rare can be found in the forbidden vault during the storm.

Torrential Runekey - Drops from ANY mob in a storm.
Best spot is the skeletons on the shore just outside the forgotten vault cave, as they hyperspawn. Got mine in about 5 minutes of solofarming.

Thunderous Runekey
For this runekey you’ll need to assemble five Thunderous Fragment. The fragments drop from treasures and chests both inside and outside of the storm. So there is two ways to go about it. First is the big chests that are spread around the zone, sometimes your character will emit a wind, that guides you to these chests and you’ll make em appear with an extra action button. These chests can be found both inside and outside the storm. The other way is by farming seafarer’s caches. To unlock seafarer’s caches, you have to had completed the quest Dipping a Toe, given by Apprentice Tanmar, after completing a few of the introductory quests at the island, so if you’ve done most quests you should’ve completed it already. Anyway, completing it will give you Blessing of the Seadweller, allowing you to walk on the seafloor and find treasure. In general just exploring underwater. And this is where you find the seafarer’s caches, so circle the island underwater to search for caches. Theres quite a lot more seafarer’s caches than normal treasures, so this i what i recommend if you want to farm it as fast as you can. But you can definitely also just pick up treasures that you come across as you do other content in the zone. The caches only appear outside of the storm. And the dropchance for the fragments seem to be around 5% from Seafarers caches and 20% from regular treasure, but ofc RNG be RNG, and this is just my assumption from what i experienced.
When you have all 5 Thunderous Fragment, click them to combine into the Thunderous Runekey

Cyclonic Runekey - Drops from Zek'ul the Shipbreaker located in the storm
/way 33.18, 73.62

Turbulent Runekey
For this runekey you'll need to assemble 3 Turbulent Fragment
They are all found in the storm version of the isle.

First fragment is gathered from a dirtpile, next to a kul tiran Ghost
/way 38.19, 51.78
Second Fragment in front of a ghost inside a cave
/way 67.07, 78.44
Third Fragment is found in the hands of a ghost in another cave
/way 52.39, 38.59
Combine all fragments to get the final runekey Turbulent Runekey

When all runekeys are gathered, go to Thrayir and activate all the runestones.
/way 38.19, 51.78 Forgotten Vault Cave Entrance
/way 50.31, 15.36 Singing Crystal (Teleporter to Forgotten Vault)
/way 72.70, 61.32 Thrayir

When all runestones are activated, you'll simply get a quest from Thrayir that awards the mount. Congratulations!

I'm up to 54 chests opened and only have 2 Thunderous Fragment... This RNG crap sucks.

EDIT: I opened 80 chests in non-storm and received zero fragments. I remembered I got the other 2 I had during storm mode. I switched to storm mode and got the remaining three in about 30 chests. About 40-45 chests altogether for the five.

YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS IN STORM MODE.

Comment by DCCXVIII

The 5 Thunderous Fragment you need to actually make this key only drop from Runed Storm Cache within the storm phase of the island (not the regular phase).

I had to open close to 20 Runed Storm Caches to get them all. Make sure you do it during the storm. Chests spawn randomly on the coordinates shared in here and can respawn in the same location during the same day.

Comment by Theokhronos

The chest that spawns near these coords 38.21 20.25 in the storm near one of the Torrential hypers spawn camps people do weirdly has had a 100% drop chance for me every time I've opened it. I looted it 3 times and all 3 times I have received one Thunderous Fragment, either the group I was in farming Torrential fragments got extremely lucky or some weird thing was happening.

Got my Cyclonic Runekey after 60x fishing at the Coast, where Zek'ul the Shipbreaker is.

Video guide on how to get Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren: https://youtu.be/I_EQMWb1qTg

Step by step how to get the mount:
Ways to get to Siren Isle: Use the Zepplin in Dornogal (coordinates 72, 5) or the Mole Machine in the Ringing Deeps at coordinates 46, 30.
Speak to Suzie Boltwrench at coordinates 69, 49 on Isle of Siren to go into the storm phase.

You need a total of 5 runekeys:
1. Whirling Runekey: Go into the cave at coordinates 44, 24 on Isle of Siren, enter the tunnel and click on the Singing Tablet to enter the Forgotten Vault. Run down the corridor to the last room, defeat Ksvir the Forgotten to loot the Whirling Runekey.
2. Torrential Runekey: This runekey is made by combining 7 Torrential Fragment. These have a low chance to drop from any rares, elites and normal mobs found on Isle of Siren. Best place to farm is near the entrance of the cave mentioned above at 44, 24 as the spawn rate is quite fast. It takes 2-3 hours to get all 7 when farming in a group.
3. Thunderous Runekey: This runekey is made by combining 5 Thunderous Fragment which drop from treasure chests in the Isle of Siren. The easiest to find are Seafarer's Caches, you will notice gusts of wind blowing from your character to the direction of the cache. Make sure you completed the quest Dipping a Toe in order to see the caches.
4. Cyclonic Runekey: This drops from either Zek'ul the Shipbreaker found at coordinates 33, 73, or by fishing in the waters close to were Zek'ul spawns.
5. Turbulent Runekey: This runekey is made up of 3 turbulent fragments that are scattered around Isle of Siren.
- First fragment is at coordinates 38, 51 in a dirtpile next to a Kul Tiran Ghost
- Second fragment is at coordinates 67, 78 inside a cave infront of a ghost on the ground.
- Third fragment is another cave at coordinates 52, 38 in the hands of a ghost.

When you have all the runekeys, head back to the Forgotten Vault (entrance at coordinates 44, 24) head to the room at coordinates 72, 61, go up the staircase where you will see Thrayir on the ground surrounded by 5 inactive runestones. Activate each one, Thrayir will then give you a quest that gives you the mount.

I tried farming seafarer's caches for over an hour and got one fragment, half a dozen mogs/catch up gear, and god knows how many flame-blessed iron. Went into the storm, used Paste to bop around the map using DCCXVIII's list of co-ordinates and got the four remaining fragments in about 20 minutes. The drop rate from chests in the storm is insane compared to the seafarer's caches, I very much recommend doing the storm ones instead.

Comment by Cross1776

I have opened well over 100 seafarer's caches and have not received a single key fragment. I have around 40 pieces of warbound gear in my bags. I am going to try the storm cache's instead.

Comment by Br00k3star

Once you unlock Blessing of the seadweller you can walk and breath underwater, just do laps around the island.

Comment by SargerasWasRight

There are already plenty of comments saying not to bother with seafarer's caches for these but here is my two cents. I spent around 3 hours doing nothing but opening caches on a neglected alt as a way to get easy valorstones and flame blessed iron at the same time while paying about 1% attention to the game and watching TV. I got tons of gear, enough valorstones to upgrade all their vet gear for both transmogs, plenty of iron and zero fragments. Just don't do it lol.

Comment by Netzopfer

The droprate on these is infuriating. I have opened over 100 chests and only got one fragment so far. In combination with the amount of mobs patrolling and not being able to fly this is the least fun I have had chasing a mount in a while.

Comment by HoverDaddy07

Just want to add my 2 cents in hope of helping.
I opened close to 100 seafarer's caches on no-storm isle, got no Thunderous Fragment.
The only Thunderous Fragment I got outside the storm was from 1 of those rarer caches, not seafarer. Also in the water.
Just use the chords posted here, inside the storm, and go look them up. Let the wind guide you. For me, one out of every 3 caches in the storm had a Thunderous Fragment.

Also, for Torrential key, just join/make a group and farm them outside of the Vault. Spent close to 2 hours for 6 fragments, the 7th refused to drop that day. Got it the next day, first pull.
I got NO Torrential fragments anywhere else in the isle. During the storm, of course.

Hope it helps someone!
Toodles!

Farming Thunderous Fragment for Thunderous Runekey ended up being a lot easier than I initially thought. Here's how I farmed them earlier today:

1. Enter Storm in Siren isle by talking to Suzie Boltwrench and getting Seafury Tempest buff from her. (She will not let you enter the storm, if you haven't done the weekly progress bar cache.)
2. Grab the TR-06 Pummeler vehicle from behind her. Note that you can see chests, but you don't have the gusts of winds pointing towards nearby chests as long as you are riding the mechsuit.
3. Press the macros below and start going through the Runed Storm Cache locations.
4. When you find the first Runed Storm Cache, kill all the mobs following you with the TR-06 Pummeler, leave vehicle, reveal the chest with the extra action button and loot the chest.
5. Go through the other Runed Storm Cache locations on foot. (Or grab another TR-06 Pummeler, if you're close by.)
6. After you finish going through all the locations, right click the Seafury Tempest buff. This will teleport you away from the storm and back to the camp.
7. Teleport to Dornogal, switch War-Mode On, (or Off, if it was On), return to the Siren Isle and repeat from Step 1.

Opening Runed Storm Caches inside the storm got me 4 fragments in a row. Then 1 chest without a fragment, then the next chest had a fragment.
