TheWoWDBYou turn in this quest to the Soul-Scribe at /way 63.2 39.0
When I attempted this, she was unfriendly to me (Orange) and the surrounding mobs were hostile, though they don't attack. You will be unable to turn in the quest as a result. Logging out and back in fixed this for me. The mobs became neutral and I was able to turn in the quest.

If you get to this quest and it just says "talk to Xal" you need to go north of the tower to the camp. It desynced hard for me and I somehow got lost even though it's like 20yard away
I think that they messed up on the voice lines here: Xalatath seems to speak one of the wastelander, Soul-Scribe's lines. Very weird.

Description
You've impressed these Wastelanders with your violent prowess, my champion. Well done. Now let me do my work. I know what these former oracles want. They dream of hearing the Song of K'aresh once more. I must make them believe it is possible, then pull on that string of desire. Soon we will have our army, and another Reshii Ribbon. First, let's return the Tabiqa ritual dagger.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Enemies of Enemies
The Wastelanders have made camp in the ruins of old K'aresh. A sanctuary from the ravenous beasts of the Void that stalk the wastes of K'aresh. A bulwark against outsiders. If a hostile entity were to enter their camp, you could defeat it--then they would respect you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stalking Stalkers
I've planted the seed, yet Soul-Scribe still hesitates. Her daughter Narathe is more receptive. She might be able to give us the nudge that's needed to win the Wastelanders over. Daughters are useful. Go with Narathe. Win over their tribe. I will stay here and continue to work on Soul-Scribe's will.
