There is a small mound of dirt on the ground you have to use, and then defend the NPC from a few mobs as he gets summoned, overall very simple. The mound of dirt is not too easy to spot (at least it took me some time <.<) so look carefully :)
I'd like to point out to anyone still having problems with this quest; there are TWO peat piles, if you pick both quests up together. They are a sort distance away from each other but if you look you will find them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Torches
Until recently, the yaungol shaman would come here to work alongside us. Now, they bend my people to their will. If we refuse, they kill us. Even if we oblige... they kill us. The yaungol mist-shaman's magic flows through his torch. Take his torch away, and he has nothing.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Arconiss
If I am to fight Jahesh, leader of the yaungol mist-shaman, I must have Arconiss by my side. Arconiss' ferocity is second to none. He rests beneath the mists of the Upper Sumprushes. Find his resting place, and then use these torches to awaken him.
