This quest NPC took some time to show up. I tabbed out to find out what I was doing wrong, went back in and the NPC had appeared.
They showed up for me at /way 45.61 41.26
If they aren't popping up for you, leave Camp Antonidas and zone back in.

Description
You there, {name}! It's good to see a friendly face in these parts. Telash and I were just discussing reports we've heard of... newcomers, in the area. <Emberthal lowers her voice.> Blue dragons. Given our... history, with the blues, Telash and I thought it necessary to assess the situation ourselves. Please, join us.
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.

I do not have time to quibble with sorcerers. Go and treat with this "Archmage", <name>. Learn what you may, and be on your guard always. They might be allies still or enemies yet... Our reports indicate there's a large archival complex to the south of here. That is where I'm going.
