TheWoWDBCurrently on the alpha. the quest text for this quest is a bit misleading as the /salute emote only works for one of these runestones where in fact each runestone has its own emote you need to do in order to spawn the echo.
When you find a runestone, it will display some text that gives you a clue on what emote to do. You must target the runestone before doing the emote in order to spawn the echo.
The Runestone of Rituals requires you to /kneel whilst targeting it
The Runestone of Plagues requires you to /bleed whilst targeting it
The Runestone of Chosen requires you to /salute whilst targeting it
The Runestone of Constructs requires you to /flex whilst targeting it
The Runestone of Eyes requires you to /sneak whilst targeting itSome of the runestones are underground and found via nearby tunnels.

What to do
Signet of the Learned, 36g 50s 40c, 11,050 XPDescription
The Primus placed guardians in the area around the Sepulcher to protect the knowledge within. Each embodied the virtues of one of the five houses. To gain entrance, you must prove yourself worthy by besting these protectors. Seek out the rune stones that represent the houses of Maldraxxus. Pay attention to the words inscribed on each stone, then pay deference each house's values. If you honor the stone, its protector will come forth. Defeat each of them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Read Between the Lines
Ah, mortal, how fortunate that I, humble Ta'eran, happen to be standing here just as you, the outsider everyone is talking about, happens to wander by! In the spirit of cooperation and mutual interests, there is a matter I wish to discuss.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Kill Them, Of Course
These mindless monstrosities hail from the farthest reaches of the Shadowlands. The anima drought has fueled their relentless hunger, driving them to seek new sources. Their presence here is inconvenient, to put it mildly. They tear at the land searching for any anima they can find.
