The Moonrise Towers are southwest of Shadow-Cursed Lands on the Act 2 map. Accessible only through a long stone bridge. Once you get there, a series of cutscenes will play, and what happens next will depend on your choices. You can pretend you are the worshiper of absolute (for now) and infiltrate the Towers and get the Coldbrim Hat in the meantime, or you can kill everyone.

Regardless, go to the second floor; the stairs are behind the Kethrick throne in the throne room, the central part of the Moonrise towers. Upstairs, you must turn right and pass through the library to get to the Balthazar’s Chambers. Be careful because the room is filled with traps.
