Watcher Vl'thax is outside of the tunnel entrance. Don't mount up and fly away like I did to try and turn in this quest. The turn in is right back inside the tunnel down the stairs.

1 Reflections-in-amber

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
The Morrowchamber houses a small section of the Zara'thik, mantid under immediate directive of the new empress. Some of them may have been given pieces of amber like the one you found. The Shado-Pan would be interested in any extra pieces we can acquire.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
It seemed as though the mantid had been producing the corrupted amber for some time before our... intervention. It stands to reason that they are keeping a stockpile of it somewhere. The Shado-Pan's scouts have been reporting an increased presence of the swarm's warriors in Klaxxi'vess.
The Mantid Threat has 9 steps, from Reflections in Amber to The Mantid Threat.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dread Wastes (5), Vale of Eternal Blossoms (3), Vale of Eternal Blossoms (1).
