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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Visions of the Past: Rise from the DeepShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    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
