You have to the kill hostile mobs that are standing near the Oppressed Kobolds to free them (clicking on the Oppressed Kobolds won't do anything).
In first few days of expansion you may have to hang around to wait for the hostile mobs to respawn.
One good place to go is the cave at /way 64.15, 30.30

There is nothing to "free" the oppressed kobolds! You need to kill this mob Waxtail Browbeater to free them.
Also the Waxtail Tormentor

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Manifesto Destiny
Before take mines, my people live in great city. Stoneheads call it the Warrens. Candle King's bullies run it now. We need see what we are fighting. Let kobolds know we here to help! Better choices than Candle King. What better way than pamphlets? Everyone love pamphlet! We draw real good!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Not Waste, Not Want
Everything have use, friend. Even things stoneheads throw away and think worthless. Kobolds know better. Go and see what you can find. Need to scavenge lots of scrap. Enough for kobold crafting of new homes!
