To get this quest started, first you'll need to pick up [object=244708].
Just FYI - these guys respawn very quickly, probably adjusted to the beginning rush of questers in this area. By the time you eat something and bandage the remaining damage, you're right in the middle of the battle again. Of course in theory you'd leave the area after beating one of these guys in case he has any vengeful relatives but since the whole area is swarming with unfriendlies, that's not easy unless you've got stealth or Shadowmeld. Going for a swim can sometimes help. Kind of like the Shadowmoon Peninsula - a target-rich environment.

Description
Many of the Kvaldir here in the bay are former denizens of this harbor, cursed by the sea-witch Helya to do her bidding for all time. The ones you read about, they still walk the stagnant waters. They could be given respite, should a kind soul bring it to them at the tip of a blade. So tell me, how kind is your soul?

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.
- Remnants of the Past
<The journal entry appears hastily written.> I do not know what has become of my village. Ever since the mists engulfed the harbor, my kinsfolk have changed. Some have grown violent and savage, while others have fallen into madness. Many have ventured into the mists and have yet to return.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scavenging the Shallows
The kvaldir exist to spite Odyn, and it is here their spiteful work is done. They rob the souls of the living - the souls not yet judged - thus robbing Odyn of his champions. They bring them here to transport to Helya, though the mists obscure any indications of how. You seem to fare the mists well.
