TheWoWDBThe quest says to speak with the ghosts. Thats clearly false as i was trying for 5 minutes to find the correct combination of dialog. The mobs are needed to be killed and they are the yellow ( neutral Highborne Echo )

/tar highborne echo is your friend if you spoke to 3 not noticing you weren't getting credit and lose the yellow markers in the quest area
Thank you. I was doing the same, speaking to them because that's what the quest text refers to and there's nothing to indicate killing them.

Description
These spirits... they are the Highborne. They were those Azshara held close. Azshara often played favorites, but these people... they were her favorites. I do not know why their spirits are here. We should investigate further. See if you can communicate with them and find out why their spirits cling to these ruins. How could she abandon them?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shoring Up Mana Reserves
Holding back the tide walls is not an easy task, even using the Tidestone. The ebb and flow of the magical energies in the area are too inconsistent. We need to shore up our magical reserves, which requires mana batteries, if you will.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Secrets in the Ruins
This was once a place of great power. The highborne who lived here would host lavish parties, living in splendor. Zin-Azshari was once on the shores of the Well of Eternity and drew powerful mages from all over the empire to study here.
