If you are doing this after Midnight prepatch, the quest objectives and map display are currently broken, and don't show you were to go. The Thalassian Warstrider is located here

Such a well designed quest, as usual for Blizzard. At the end of the Dead Scar, just before the quest turn in, I had a bunch of mobs around and the mount ability was on CD. I figured I'd get back into the opening of Deatholme so as not to pick up any more mobs that might respawn while I killed the ones I already had on me. But no, as soon as I got into the Deatholme entrance (and not even close to the quest turn in point) the mount went away, and I was instantly killed by all the mobs. So yeah, super well designed quest there Blizzard. Thanks for that.

Such power! Surely not even Vorath can withstand the might of this weapon now. We have what we came to the Shadowlands for. The ranseur is ready. Let's get back to Lady Liadrin in Tranquillien. I hope we're not too late to make a difference!
