For this quest your going to need to go North West from the quest giver.
What the quest fells to tell you is you're going to the island of Zalazane's Fall !
Swim across and you're on Zalazane's Fall island. The raptors you want are all over the island. They show up with a yellow (neutral) name.
The raptors have faint black mist radiating from their midsection .
Also, if you mouse over them the pointer will let you see quest info and the quest you're on.
The island is located at coordinates 60,39/89,74. That is the middle of the island.
As a bonus that is also where you'll find Naj'tess.

Description

The fiend who stole our raptors has been corruptin' dem with some kind of magic. Now dat dey've grown with dis corruption inside of them, I fear dere's little we can be doin' to save dem outside grantin' them da peace of death. Go ta Zalazane's Fall, northwest of here, an' see da task done. I hope ya can stomach dae work. I don't tink I could bring myself ta do da deed, even knowin' that it be needed.
