TheWoWDBEach archaeology find gives between 1-3 of the fragments so this might take a few dig sites to complete.
You might also get a Wyrmtongue Collector spawn from digging, which drops a few more of the quest items (dropped 9 for me).

Ancient War RemnantsDescription
Stormheim is steeped with artifacts from tha War of the Ancients. Demon artifacts ta be exact. I think these artifacts can clue us into some knowledge about their leader, Sargeras. I've already found some fragments to a titan disc, but need ta find the rest of 'em. I need ya ta dig around Stormheim and see if ye can find any more fragments so we can reassemble the disc.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bits and Pieces
So many artifacts to catalogue, and never enough time. Good to see you again, <name>. Brann Bronzebeard and the Explorers' League are in Stormheim right now and could use your help tracking down an ancient titan relic. Brann can fill you in on the details when you arrive.
