It is part of the Greatmother chain which starts by rescuing the prisoner at Sunspring Post in Nagrand - the trick is that the yellow exclamation does not appear on the prisoner until both his captors are dead. He is in a broken small hut at 31.3,44.0 roughly. Just follow these quests right through including going to Auchindon and completing the dungeon, talking to the Naaru spirit on completion of Auchindon and accepting that quest. Don't forget to grab your soul mirror while you are there so that you can return to Nagrand to complete the rest of the chain. Hope this saves you all some time.

Description

Return to Greatmother Geyah at Garadar with news of your victory, {name}. This will surely lift the spirits of the Mag'har. Perhaps even the young Hellscream will be lifted from his malaise.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What the Soul SeesNagrand · Level 15-30

    For several centuries, the spirits of Auchindoun coalesced into my darkened essence. Many of the catastrophes that befell this crypt were a direct result of my weakened state. Regrettably, there is nothing that can be done to stop this cycle.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Inconsolable ChieftainNagrand · Level 15-30

    You have done so much for the Mag'har, <name>. Your accomplishments are known to all, including Garrosh. Go to him now and tell him of your latest victory. Tell him that you do what you do for him and his people. Surely he will be lifted by your words.
