As of patch 11.0.2 (56110) this appears to be bugged. 'The Resting Blade' is visible and at the correct location, but it cannot be interacted with nor looted to progress the quest.

Same problem on my side, even if you abandon the quest and pick it up again ...
Just Turn WM-OFF *worked with me*

What to do
Description
There are several weapons of historical value that I believed were lost to time. I would bet my talons that they are here at this garrison. The dragonspawn and drakonid loyally cling to the memory of my long-dead father. Misguided fools. They have access to my father's forges and weapons, and it is likely the very weapons I thought lost are stored nearby. If they find out what they have, they will use the weapons against us. They cannot remain in their claws.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- With Our Powers Combined
Emberthal is waiting for us in front of the Brimstone Garrison. Come, <name>. She will be pleased to see we have rallied the full might of the black dragonflight to aid her cause.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wipe Them Out
Do you know what I see when I gaze upon the Brimstone Garrison? Traitors. These soldiers believe themselves followers of the black dragonflight, yet they ignore us, the true heirs to Neltharion, and bend a knee to the specter of our malevolent father. This cannot be allowed to stand.
