TheWoWDBThis quest is a breadcrumb quest to [quest=90845] (Questline [storyline=6014]), and if you can't see the NPC [npc=244490] to offer this (even though the marker is on your map) at The Howling Ridge:
YOU CAN SKIP THIS QUEST, and just go directly to the NPC [npc=244499] at Ethereum Overcroft ( /way #2405 44.6 68.6 Kifaan at Ethereum Overcroft ).Skipping this breadcrumb quest will still make the questline to count towards Sojourner of Voidstorm (it did at least for me).

I was able to pick this breadcrumb quest on my main who had completed the main campaign fully, but on my alt, who hasn't done the main campaign, I am not able to see the NPC to pick the quest at the Howling Ridge.
BUT on my alt I was able to just go directly to Ethereum Overcroft and pick the next quest [quest=90845] just fine and I completed the questline on the said alt and it counted towards the achievement, and the breadcrumb quest was also removed from my map.

If you don’t see the NPC who gives the quest, just complete one or two main story quests and the NPC should appear. At least that’s how it worked for me.
P.S: The problem is that the main storyline overlaps with certain side quests, causing phase conflicts that may result in an NPC disappearing. To restore them, you need to progress through the quests until the NPC layout returns to its default state. Basically, if you were sent to the first zone, just complete a few main story quests
found him at 44.7, 68.6 ... partially did the campaign but gave up, then found him anyway later.

What to do
Description
You, stranger... do you know of the Shadowguard that left K'aresh in ruins? My sister was lost in the conflict, her heart forcibly turned to the Void, but I swore oaths to my family... to cherish them no matter their transgressions. My sister, Veraan, is surely lost, but if I were to recover her necklace, at least then my oaths would be upheld in spirit. I am a simple tinkerer. I've tuned this device to track the Shadowguard, but I cannot face them alone. Would you help me?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Distant Memories
I swore an oath to honor my family... difficult when my sister was converted to the Shadowguard. She may not be here, but tracking the Shadowguard has led me to this place. I'm looking for a necklace that belonged to my sister Veraan. It's odd...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fits of Lucidity
While I've been lurking, I've been listening. These Shadowguard appear to have a minor rebellion on their hands. Some of the ethereals are acting erratically. They're being rounded up and questioned. What's going on here? Dispatch some of these Shadowguard and intercept their intel.
