TheWoWDBThe question mark on the map is slightly deceiving, the NPC is in fact down inside a tunnel. The entrance is at 59 , 65. After you enter, go down the stairs, make a right and continue down, then go left in the first hallway.

This quest gives a great opportunity for gaining rep with a bodyguard garrison follower. An endless stream of enemies rushing at the NPC you need to get to. They're easy to kill and each one gives your follower 10 rep. So that racks up rep pretty quick. They keep on coming even when you've handed the quest in (probably when you don't even have the quest too).
I kept killing them til I got bored and ended up with about 6k more rep on my follower. Might check back later and do it again. :)

Description
What few soulpriests we don't have on the front lines are working fervently to maintain Auchindoun's defenses. They aren't going to be able to keep it up much longer alone. Soulbinder Tuulani went inside the nearby Tomb of Lights to retrieve a backup power pylon and hasn't returned. I need you to find her and get her and the pylon back here safely.
