Quest turn-in is in a cave at 38.10, 30.96. It appears obvious once you know where it is, but looking on the map/minimap it is not so obvious.

Get out of the Deepsea Slave Pen, run straight to where there is white sand. Turn right, and you will see the refuge where [npc=153499] is waiting.
The entrance is due west of the question mark. You need to face due east to see the entrance.
That is every comment on this page.

What to do
Description
It is true that my clan has been battling the naga for generations, but it was only in recent times that we took the fight to Nazjatar. Our leader was slain by the vile queen, and now honor binds my clan to this deep ocean. We will avenge their death or die here trying. It is our way. Your mission aligns with our duty, so we will fight the naga together. Slay their forces and bring us one step closer to honoring our promise.
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.
- Deteriorating Knowledge
My clan came to Nazjatar, eager to destroy the naga queen. We were not prepared for the darkness that she commands. Our scouts knew this land best, but their knowledge now deteriorates as their minds are controlled by Azshara's forces.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- What We Know of the Naga
I owe you a debt. That much is clear. My mind still reels from the zoatroid's influence, but I fear the others suffer more visible wounds. Apply this salve to their wounds, and I will do my best to share what I know of the naga.
