This quest bugged out for me and Merithra never appeared, abandoning the quest and retrying worked for me!
Had to close the game completely to interact with the Inert Anchors. Shard-hopping, turning WM off, leaving the area, abandoning, hearthing and relogging did not solve the issue.

Description
Based on my research, I believe there's a way to reestablish Ysera's ties to the Emerald Dream, so we can bring her closer to Azeroth. When Ysera died, the Winter Queen used her own power to restore her in Ardenweald. For now, she's bound there, but I think if we can just get Ysera over into the Emerald Dream, we can use these anchors to keep her there. But I'm getting ahead of everything. First, we have to infuse these anchors with the power of those Emerald Tears.
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.
- A Frenzied Defender
I have noticed that these gardens have rather diverse defenses, from the dragons to the drakonid and ancients... and even the wildlife! But there is one defender that seems to have become rather too zealous in its protectiveness. It even tried to swoop at me when I arrived!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Somnikus
Somnikus has been melancholy and agitated since the death of his son. Though we have all endured loss, I cannot imagine what I would feel were something like that to happen to Gerithus. Go with Rymek to the isle, and see if there's anything we can do.
