TheWoWDBYou must speak to the Highborne Arcanist who is glowing. The southernmost quest circle marks the building entrance, the northernmost quest circle marks his location inside.
The entrance to the building is in Zin-Azahari at Coordinates 82.24 35.88
Once in the building the Coordinate system changes and he's at 56.25 22.80.Do NOT enter the coordinates 56.25 22.80 when you're outside the building or it will direct you to the Gate of the Queen which is a very long way from where you want to be!

A World of Warcraft quest in Nazjatar. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
There is a Highborne Arcanist located at /way 56.34, 22.77 that you must talk to. When I went into the cave he was dead, so I think depending on what you tell him you can either complete the quest peacefully or he can aggro. If he is dead when you arrive, it is a LONG respawn time (10+ minutes for me).
The npcs can be killed, so good chance people might have killed them whilst you ponder where to turn in the quest.

Description
The information you have gleaned concerns me, {name}. These spirits cling to this place because they still, even now, believe in Azshara and her reign. She sold their lives to the void and they still believe in her. I know we have concerns that outweigh this, but I cannot leave them here like this. Show them. Confront them and tell them of Azshara's betrayal.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Secrets in the Ruins
This was once a place of great power. The highborne who lived here would host lavish parties, living in splendor. Zin-Azshari was once on the shores of the Well of Eternity and drew powerful mages from all over the empire to study here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Purging the Defilers
Azshara always did need everything to be about her. Everything had to have her name on it. Everything was for her glory. She forgot our people's connection to Elune. Or perhaps she believed it did not matter? Azshara and her minions have too long defiled this place with their heresy.
