TheWoWDBLeave the ship again and you will see the "Drowning Warriors" suspended in the water at any level from the just above the sea floor to just below the sea surface. Select one and use the "Enchanted Conch" in your inventory to save them. You will be attacked from time to time by Zin'jatar Raiders that are all over the place, but they are easy to deal with.

Description
You are now able to move about this realm more freely and without fear of drowning. This is where our work begins. First, you have many allies nearby who are drowning as we speak. As I saved you, you must save them. I have enchanted the shell you brought me. Use it to rescue your friends. Hurry now!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sea Legs
Greetings, <class>. I am Erunak, a fellow survivor of this savagery. I'm afraid your travails have only just begun. The naga have been scouring these waters, attacking anyone that still lives. You are not yet equipped to survive here, but I can remedy that.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rest For the Weary
You have done well, <race>, but there is much more to do and I grow weary. I have expended a great deal of energy sending a distress message to Earthen Ring leadership, pleading for their help. I must rest if I am to be of further use to us here.
