This quest and 'A Bloody Inheritance' are in the area outside the deep hole in 'The Hungering Pool'
If you've flown down the hole (near the entrance to the delve) you've gone too deep, fly back up and fight the mobs outside the crater

What to do
Description
The kobyss are... a bit larger than I expected, and I might--might, you understand?--have more trouble with them than I originally anticipated. Kill any stupid fish-faces you see.
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.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vae Victis
Ah it's time. Kill their leader. Salt his bones, take his head, and laugh as his tribe crumbles! Sharpscale's last moments are upon him, and he doesn't even realize it yet. Stupid fish-face.
