For those of you that died while on this quest, like i did, and are corpse running back to try again, the cave entrance is in the canyon near the rare spawn Arcavellus behind a mana infused tree in the ground.
It took me close to 2 hours finding it.

The cave that Oculeth sends you into, is the same one with Orb #5 for attuning to the Kosumoth the Hungering World Quest.
Followup to this quest is Unbeleyvable.
First time I've arrived at one of these pages seeking help and didn't find anything. Has anyone else encountered an issue where Oculeth isn't appearing to send you to Azuna? I've checked the portal area inside and above ground as well. Going to check other forums to see if anyone else has report the problem...

What to do
Description
I have a plan to feed Shal'Aran. Now that I am no longer starving for mana I have had time to study ley lines in new regions. I detected an eddy of mana in the ley lines of Azsuna. I have plenty of magic at my disposal, but we must visit the ley line in person in order to properly redirect the energy to Shal'Aran. Oculeth has graciously offered to teleport us there, but I could use an assistant. Care to join me?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mouths to Feed
We have rescued many refugees, as you can see. Unfortunately this has revealed a new problem. The arcan'dor fruit is our salvation, but it does not bear enough fruit right now to cure everyone. We must rely on mana a little longer to tide the refugees over.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unbeleyvable
Back to the task at hand! Take these ley line taps. We can use the resonant energies to properly redirect the flow, but they must be placed in precise locations. I will show you where. Your friend has agreed to... "supervise" us.
