If you do not do this quest at the end of the chain (I didn't--I must have just hearthed back) and you are trying to figure out how to get back to the island to pick it up so you can get your World Quests: you talk to Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth, on the Wind's Redemption (the ship where you do follower missions, etc). She'll sail you to any of the Zandalar areas.

Reward details

Currency: Azerite x 250

The blood of Azeroth crystalizes into chunks of Azerite, an extremely potent and powerful material.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.

Where to go

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.
