TheWoWDBThis can be confusing if you've already done the quest on another toon (and forgotten what to do) as you already have the waypoints open in Mac'Aree. You need to be selecting the Vindicaar in Mac'Aree. Completely obvious I'm sure but I managed to go to each waypoint trying to remember what to do.

Description
We knew the Legion to be a formidable foe, but recent events demonstrate that we do not possess the necessary strength to continue. We have come too far to fail at this critical moment. I know of a relic on Eredath, my ancient home, that may be our salvation. We must take the Vindicaar beyond the surface of Argus, to the floating ruin suspended above us. Perhaps there we will find the salvation we so desperately need.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eredath, Jewel of Argus
The shattered ruin below us is all that remains of Eredath. We called it the Jewel of Argus. It was here that my fellows in the triumvirate guided our people to prosperity. That was a long time ago. <Velen lapses into a moment of silence.> Join me on the surface.
