The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
It says that it's a group quest, but I was able to solo it as a Fire Mage with 835ilvl. Just attempt at your own risk, but with 4 Mil health, you should be able to burst him down before he gets a couple of moves down.
He is in the canals in The Gilded Market portion of Suramar. /way 56.62, 60.81
There are a few other npcs around, but none of them aggro when you attack him. They're likely rather happy that you're killing him off, as he's busy trying to force them into boats to send off to a soul engine.
For those, like me, with a deficiency in reading the map and following perfectly good instructions: Go to Astravar Harbor and, if you can't fly, stay in the water. Around 53, 60 you should be able to see the aforementioned canal. (Thank you Fermander and ShadowsDawn for getting me there)

Corrupted Duskmere Crest, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
There are two houses that pose a threat to Ly'leth's rise, but we concern ourselves with only one of them now. House Duskmere commands respect through fear and that fear is not unfounded. Few can boast of magical talent equal to that of Ruven Duskmere. Without this charming specimen, however, their house is nothing. I know you may find my methods distasteful. Know that there were demons in Suramar long before the Legion. This one has lived long enough.

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.
- Or Against Us
If Ly'leth is to achieve the role of advisor to the Grand Magistrix we will need to open a path for her. It is true she will have some supporters but they alone cannot grant her the title. There are other houses that Ly'leth must contend with. Fear and coercion are their tools.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rumor Has It
Coryn Stelleris and Ruven Duskmere were close friends, but one always overshadowed the other. Now the Stelleris family stands to gain from lord Ruven's death. Handsomely. House Duskmere will soon learn of their loss. I want you to be the one to redirect their anger and grief.
