Vindicator Kuros will not offer you this quest unless you first pick up Gaelan's Journal:
http://www.wowhead.com/?object=182032

The journal spawns the "Galaen's Journal - The Fate of Vindicator Saruan" quest:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9706

Once you pick up the journal and turn in the quest to Vindicator Kuros, he will offer you the Matis quest.

  • Don't Drink the WaterBloodmyst Isle · Level 1-30

    Our shaman claim that the elements of water have become greatly agitated by the pollution of the water source. We know that the Exodar's power core is lodged into the mountain to the west. It must be leaking volatile fluids into the water supply! I need you to get me more information.
