I know the quest already say "Nar'shola Terance above us".. but for those of us who read the quests fast... it literally means to swim up to the terrace above you after you get the quest. Dont bother killing the Kvaldir below. You need to kill the Pillagers, and the Plunderers.
The quest turn in marker for this is inaccurate, turn in at the Sira'kess Tide Priestess located at 39,58.

Description
My lady, I have a request from the High Priestess that I am to pass along to you. Many of the city's defenses remain from long before it sunk beneath the waves, and some of them are but a trivial task to reactivate, were it not for the countless Kvaldir that stand in our way. We are told you are to be fighting on Nar'shola Terrace above us. You would do my lady a great service if you would but touch some of the devices as you pass. Your noble blood should prove more than sufficient to reactivate them.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To the Fathom-Lord's Call
Fathom-Lord Zin'jatar has sent word that the Kvaldir leader has shown himself. I would like you to make your way to him at the far end of the terrace above us, on the middle level of the ruins: Nar'shola Terrace. Kill any Kvaldir that stand in your path on that terrace.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Not Soon Forgotten
The Kvaldir leader has shown his rotting, ugly face but a short swim from here, down this hall to our west. We kill him now and the Kvaldir occupation of our once beloved city shall be ended. Beware Battlemaiden, for he is no weakling. He has many Kvaldir at his command.
