Some observations that might help you to find them

Each artifact is in a ground level room as you enter the barracks.

All 4 artifact chests look exactly the same.

Each Room that has an Artifact chest is guarded by 1 -- 2 Scarlet Warders.

Most of the Chests are near the back wall or in a corner area of the room.

Description

This battle was won before it started. Right now, we're just shooting for style points. Within these barracks, the sniveling Scarlet Crusaders cling to their priceless artifacts, even though some of the objects are too holy for their now-undead hand to touch. So they keep them in chests, hidden from the world. You will find these artifacts, and bring them back to me. They belong to the Argent Crusade. They belong in the hands of the righteous.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The AssassinEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    The fate of the Scarlet Crusade is tragic, if somewhat ironic. At one point, they led the charge of humanity against the undead. Now, they resemble those corpses that they once hunted. What caused their descent into undeath isn't certain, but it doesn't make them any less dangerous.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The WrathcasterEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    One of the more vile members of the Scarlet Crusade, Mataus the Wrathcaster, lurks within the barracks' dungeon. Undeath suits his dark manner. Were I younger and on the front lines, I'd run him through myself. As things are, I'm left behind to lead our forces from the rear.
