Eirzay, near the Royal Apothecary (43.0/47.2), requests you handle this objective by slaying four Royal Appointees.

Quest text:

Zev'kall has filled the city's guard with Sureki sycophants and flunkies. It would really be a shame if someone were to take initiative and weed out the unworthy.

They are clearly labelled 'Royal Appointee' in yellow (not red or orange), and are standard Nerubians, not Ascended. They can be found in a large area in The Skeins roughly centered (36.0/34.0) on the front steps of the Royal Preservatorium,

That is every comment on this page.

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.
