The objects you need to pick up are small golden crystals on the floor where Illidan and Turaylon are stood.

What you're looking for is the small bits of yellow that are scattered around Illidan on the ship. Essentially, right behind you when you pick up the quest.

Description

This is a crucial moment, {name}. Our campaign must not lose momentum. Though she has fallen, I still sense Xe'ra's presence all around us. The Light that shone within her heart can yet be a source of strength for our cause. No doubt the loss of Xe'ra has deeply wounded Turalyon. I will do what I can to ease his troubled spirit while you gather the vestiges of the naaru that remain.

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.

The Child of Light and ShadowKrokuun · Level 45
It is time, <name>. Xe'ra is returned to us. We have Light's Heart. We have her Chosen One. Come, let us restore her. Let us forge a bright new path against our foes. Speak to me when you are ready to begin.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

An Offering of LightLevel 45
I sense it. The nobility in Xe'ra's heart. Her relentless defiance of the Legion. Let this be her legacy. In building the Vindicaar, we fashioned the Netherlight Crucible to harness the tremendous powers at play on Argus. I believe Xe'ra's essence is one key to that potential.
