I had an issue with this quest where after getting off the seahorse the quest was not listed as complete. For whatever reason I had not tripped the flag at the Forward Post for the NPC announce they had been attacked. If this happens to you, swim back to where you got the quest and mount the seahorse again. The flag tripped just fine on my second try.
(4.1) The Seahorse takes a stop at the place then takes off to Legion's Rest. Don't worry, after that use your Seahorse to go back to (40,54) and you'll complete the quest.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Visions of the Past: Rise from the Deep
What you told me of the naga before has been plaguing my mind. Who are these allies they're summoning? Do they really think they can defeat the Tidehunter? Escaping this cave brings a degree of relief, but our purpose here remains.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Desperate Plan
Toldrek and Fiasco left to find a way to contact help. The trade lanes aren't far, so there might be a chance of success, but I'm wary to let anyone get their hopes up. In truth, we don't have any other options. We're not likely to last much longer here. The naga will find us eventually, and...
