Find out that yesterday and today this quest is bugged.
I don't know if it gets fixed or something else but I cant find any of the 7th Legion Captives ...
Except for 5 trapped by a 80k Mob next to the Horde Cave.
No Trapper carrys any of them and even not the Horde Hornorbounds

This quest is bugged in 9.0.5 at the time of this writing.

There is one mob that has the captives. It's an elite named Zanj'ir Destroyer. Has plenty of health, so many can tag to get credit. Seems to work cross-faction, too.

The mob can be found at /way 41.22 79.78

Camp that spot, complete quest, and move on!

Macro to help:
/tar Zanj'ir Destroyer

Description

You and I survived the attack and have thus far evaded capture by the enemy. Not all were as fortunate. There are many of our allies now under the control of the naga. We must free them before they are killed or suffer an even worse fate.

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.

  • DescentNazjatar · Level 50

    We've lost the bulk of our forces already; any more and we won't have enough to make a stand. This wreckage won't keep the naga at bay, so we must find safety elsewhere. You will have to trust me here, <name>. Leap off the falls and you will descend safely.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Disruption of PowerNazjatar · Level 50

    The naga are tapping into some latent power, infusing the energy into some manner of device. I do not know what purpose they have for this power, but it is surely in our interest to destroy the objects before they can be used against us.
