We heard the echo of the explosion from here.
I presume you have found victory, but your solitary arrival suggests not all is well.

specifically want to thank whoever uploaded the video for this part of the quest, i accidentally skipped the little cutscene.
This was bugged for me during the launch test. Adelgonn just disappeared after the sentence "We have bad news". How ironic
Had the same issue. Turns out it was because I had taken the quest from the War Table to go into The Ringing Deeps before doing this quest. Simply abandon the War Table quest and retake Recompense and it should work!

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.

We dealt a heavy blow to the nerubians. But Baelgrim... <Adelgonn pauses to compose herself.> He was infuriatingly rigid and we argued ceaselessly, but in the end... he was a defender of our people--all of them. Baelgrim sacrificed himself to vouchsafe the Isle of Dorn from the nerubians.
