For those of you wondering who to kill, the NPCs that drop the ash are the Bloodmaul Magma Shapers. I tried the Magma Elementals and the like, but he only ones who have the ash are the Bloodmaul Magma Shapers.

Bloodmaul Brutes and Bloodmaul Geomancers in buildings near questgiver drop ashes too.
[npc=77998] is located at 43,15. After completing Ashes Of The Past he gives you Flames Of The Earth. It seems that there isn't anything after that. The Flames Of The Earth quest is extremely easy with completion at about 1 minute tops - Target a fire elemental, use gem on it, rinse and repeat until you have all 6 elementals freed.

Description
The ogres are a plague upon my kind. They summon my kin and force them into servitude, working them without rest till their heat fades away and they crumble into dust. Their ashes must return to the lava flows so that they can be reborn! The Ogres keep the dust in pouches on their person thinking it would enhance their strength. Go slay them and recover the ashes of my people!
