TheWoWDBFeels like part of the NPC dialog is missing here? Shandris starts talking about obelisks, but the Nathrezim didn't say anything about obelisks after I hit the first circle...

This is one of those dialogues I find really annoying. None of it makes sense.
What forge? What obelisks?
If you can't find the next circle, talk to your quest companion again to become invisible. The circles should appear again.

Description
The little I have seen so far has given me almost no information about our enemies. We will have to take a closer look. I can hide the both of us from sight on your command. But stay away from the dreadlords--their eyes are sharp enough to spy even a hidden huntress.
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.
- Knowing is Half the Battle
<name>, you should join Shandris and infiltrate the Mawsworn forces from the east. Whatever information you two uncover will inform us of your next course of action. Take care. We have no information on what you may find.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Harmony and Discord
These obelisks must be key to Zovaal's plans. Even without full knowledge of their purpose, we should stop the Mawsworn from meddling with them. I will bring this information to Highlord Bolvar. Head to Darion Mograine and do the same. He will need to plan his defenses around this.
