TheWoWDBIf you are wondering why the quest giver isn't there, it's because he was killed in fighting the demons. He will respawn within 10 minutes or so.

Description
They were waiting for us when we crashed. It was all we could do to establish our small outpost. Even now they drain the souls of our fallen to fuel their attacks. Destroy their soul coffers. Free our comrades and let them join the Light. When you have finished, find Y'mera in the field. She has been sorely missed, but she will not have fallen. Of this I am certain.
Where to go
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gathering Light
Alleria and I long for more time with our son, but we cannot afford to wait any longer, <name>. We must strike now. The Army of the Light is scattered, but not defeated. Any survivors should have stayed near the crash site of the Xenedar.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Best Prevention
If you've brought the High Exarch back to us, you are a welcome ally indeed. More is needed of you. You see our soldiers out there, fighting against all odds? Defend them. Slay the enemy. Strong words for a priest, perhaps, but every dead man'ari is one less blade at our throats.
