If you're dumb like me, you won't notice the dagger on the crate to the right of Kojo.

The alter is located on the island West of Warfang Hold. It's not in the cave (where the WQ Sabertron is) but up above it on the hill at 34.2, 31.8
Can confirm, am dumb. Didn't notice.

Description
This medallion is inscribed with orders commanding the naga to invade our shores and seize artifacts of power. <Kojo studies you thoughtfully.> I've heard tales of a priest who used a horrifying dagger to fight the Burning Legion. It is said this blade... Xal'atath... whispers secrets of the deep. It might be our best chance of uncovering what the naga seek. I'm told the naga have an altar on an island in Stormsong Valley. If you take Xal'atath there, the dagger may reveal crucial information.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Azsharan Medallion
<On the naga's body you find an ornate metal disc. The writing on its surface resembles elven script, but you cannot decipher it. You suspect the words are written in the Nazja tongue. Perhaps someone with a knowledge of naga artifacts could translate the text.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Every Little Death Helps
<The whispers are faint, but grow louder as you hold the blade in your hand.> So weak... need... blood... souls... <The voice trails off, but you can still sense the dagger urging you on.>
