Misleading. You can't start the chain until you at least "start," another chain first.
Do the quest "The Archmage's Staff." http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10173 - Complete that chain up until the 3rd part: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10174, then after that you should be able to get the quest. =]

I'd like to add that this quest is significantly easier if you realize that the spirits reside IN the houses and buildings. They sit in all but one of the one-room houses (even the 2 with no roof), there are 2 or 3 inside the town hall and I could only find 2 outside. Try looking indoors you'll have more luck; also, when you're in there fighting try and stay to the back of the building because the defenders pat close and might see you.
Kill Severed Spirits in the buildings at 57,90 Netherstorm.
"A Fate worse than Death": is the buildings just north of here, so I did them together:

What to do
Description
Most of the spirits in the village are little more than pale remnants of Kirin Tor mages. They retain no knowledge of their former selves and wander the ruins in blind anger. It wasn't always like this, though. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the spirits were restless, but not spiteful. With the passage of time they have only grown more aggressive. I dare not venture into the southern part of the village, for they will not spare even me. Quiet them and let us hope it will purge their anger.
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.
- Rebuilding the Staff
<Ravandwyr inspects the staff, noting that part of the headpiece seems to be missing.> Simply barbaric! Ekkorash must've taken the staff's crystalline headpiece for use in some other trinket, not realizing that it works in concert with the rest of the staff.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Annals of Kirin'Var
Silencing the spirits has not bled them of their aggression as we had hoped it would. The malevolent spirits you subdued have reemerged in the streets of the town. We must uncover what is causing this to happen.
