39,29 is correct.
If you wait long enough, Asghar walks around the area, eventually coming near enough to the road that you can pull him by himself (I got an owl add, but just threw up my water elemental to hold it off). All in all a very easy part of the chain.

Description

What you read in the commander's journal is true. While the orcish Horde massed under Gul'dan, my people sought to defend ourselves from the threat by striking against him. Gul'dan learned of their intentions and cast a mighty spell that destroyed our camps and twisted the spirits of my brothers. They must be stopped before they unleash a greater evil. In the Sketh'lon Wreckage to the north, seek out Asghar and bring me the totem he carries. With it, we can begin to thwart the dark conclave's plans.

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.

  • Find the DeserterShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    There's nothing here that would explain why the spirits of these arakkoa have remained in this world or how they came into thirst for the blood of orcs. I think our best lead is to try to find the deserter mentioned in the journal.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Rod of LiantheShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The totem alone is not strong enough to counteract the sinister magics of the dark conclave. We can combine it with other objects of power, forming a staff to focus the energies. We cannot rescue my brethren from the depths of their depravity, but we can stop them.
