Turn in for this quest is inside a burrow. The entrance to the burrow is at 58.86 34.98. The quest giver is inside on the right.
The quest has to be turned in at Tirna Vaal, not in the cave in Dusty Burrows. This might only happen if you turn in Queen of the Underground first.

Description
Finding Sha'lor is our main priority. But there is another opportunity. Take the Gormherd Branch that he dropped. I know he was tinkering with it so that it would work on wild gorm. Use it on the gorm in the burrows, and see if you can collect any of their gorm gris. Don't bother with the little ones; get the really potent stuff from the bigger gorm. Perhaps if we can collect enough, and find that silly sylvar, he will not rush horns-first into the burrows again.
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 Absent-Minded Artisan
Of all the foolhardy, misguided, exasperating... <Guardian Kota snorts and stomps a hoof.> But standing here does Sha'lor no good. We must find him and bring him back safely. Come, meet me at the Autumnal Rise. We can survey the burrows below and see if there is any sign that he lives.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- One Big Problem
We must go after Master Sha'lor. Tirna Vaal needs him! And I... I... I will report to the droman. They must know that Sha'lor is in danger. Then, I will enter the burrows myself from the south and help you defeat it. For now, see what you can find. I refuse to believe that he is gone.
