TheWoWDBI'm surprised I am the first to point this out, but the quest and the explanation of the quest is straight out of the old Nickelodeon game show Legends of the Hidden Temple... all we need is the stone Almach explaining the quest to us.

Very straight forward quest. Simply follow the instructions given in the quest itself. As soon as you enter the Hall of Masks the quest is complete, and you can hand it in and pick up the next on in the quest chain.
This quest does count towards loremaster's Swamp of Sorrows Quests.

Description
I will need you to enter the temple first, {name}. I can join you once a path is secure, but I dare not enter blindly. Turned against my kind, I would be a vicious enemy. You can start by descending the stairs behind me. Then, swim through the flooded depths of the Broken Hall. Once there, follow the passageway to the right to find the Hall of Masks. Beware of any temple guards. Once you have found the Hall of Masks, I will contact you through the Oathstone.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pool of Tears
The trolls that lurk within this temple have done grievous harm to my kind, <name>. We were sent here to guard this place, and were instead used to unleash the terrible powers within. I must beg you for the help only a mortal can give.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Step One: The Priestess
My brethren are being butchered here. It's as I thought. I must ask your help further before I enter, <name>. In the passageway outside this room, the hallway proceeds left and right. To the right, it goes down to the Chamber of Blood. Here the Atal'ai perform their dark rituals.
