TheWoWDBThe name of this quest is a reference to the fact that you get it from a helmet you find deep under the ocean. Seriously. It couldn't possibly be a reference to anything else.

A book? A movie? Toll kind? What are these things? Nonsense, I say.
It's most likely a reference to Helm's Deep in Lord of The Rings.

Description
This helm and its associated components are marked with the seal of Stormwind. It was no doubt cast off from an Alliance ship that suffered a similar fate to yours. Looking closer, this seems far too intricate and sturdy to be everyday diving equipment. Perhaps Nazgrim can make some sense of this...

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.
- Girding Our Loins
As we struggled not to drown, my orcs and I were forced to abandon our weapons and much of our armor. Erunak says to expect a major attack from the naga soon and I believe him. If we're going to be victorious, we'll need your help to recover our lost equipment.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Finders, Keepers
I recognize this helm, <race>. You were wise to bring it to me. The Alliance have a special unit, trained and equipped to explore and fight beneath the sea. It would seem that they are in this region to do more than just defend against our attack.
