If you can't find the quest giver you may not have accepted both quests.
Try going to:
/way 59 57
See if they are still there.

If you go to turn this in and cannot see Archivist Roh-Senara and Archivist Roh-Suir they are hiding at 39.49 51.31. You have to get really close to see them as they are stealthed.

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.

Interrupt the InterrogationsLevel 60
Shhh... quietly! The invaders will kill me if they find me here, just as they have killed so many others! <Roh-Suir points frantically in the direction of the Mawsworn.> They're torturing the Archivist! You must find a way to rescue her. We cannot allow the Mawsworn to learn all that she knows!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Sundered StaffLevel 60
I have no choice but to trust you with the secrets of the Lodestaff. In the right hands, such as those of a trained Archivist, the staff can locate influential relics from the afterlives of the Shadowlands. It was split into three segments to ensure that it would not fall into the wrong hands.
