IMPORTANT INFO:
- In order to getPay Attention! you must completeGirding Our Loins before acceptingHelm's Deep.
- Better Late Than Dead andThe Abyssal Ride are NOT needed to takeGimme Shelter! and followups, however that would make you unable to getGood Deed Left Undone.
- [item=55186] have 0% drop chance beforeOphidophobia done and 100% after, however anyone can share you this quest as long as you are 80+lvl.
- Anyone can takeVengeful Heart and do it's followups as long as they are 80+lvl. Quests above are NOT needed for it.
Post Shadowlands release, Nazgrim was not present, and relogging did not prompt him to appear.
However, swimming up to the surface, and then back down, did make him appear.
I'm not certain if this is what actually prompted it, or whether it was just taking its time.

Rewards1g 37s 40c, 600 XP
Description
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. Speak to the leader of the men you've saved and do what you can to help them prepare for battle. The naga are scouring the waters for us. It is but a matter of time before they return - and they will surely come in even greater force.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pay It Forward
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!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Buy Us Some Time
Many good warriors have been lost today. If what the shaman says is true, then we must act swiftly or we will add to their numbers. The naga are out there, scouring these waters looking for survivors. We are not yet ready to fight, <race>. You must buy us time to make preparations.
