Don't be foolish like me and run along the top road looking for these, there are only a few there. The majority are hiding in the buildings in the shade on the lower levels. I didn't see any at first but the more you move along the more you will see.

A World of Warcraft quest in Revendreth. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Make sure you start Actions Speak Louder than Words before starting this as [npc=161553] who will need to be escorted will take you along the path you need to go in order to reach where these mobs are. You can either fight them alongside the way to the objective or wait until you escort the npc and then circle back around and slay any that you still need. You'll be needing to slay either [npc=162044] or [npc=162035] in order to get credit.
if you are unlucky and only see a few of these to whack, because someone else just got to them, the respawn time is ~5 minutes

What to do
Description
I had only heard tales of the Ember Ward before now. It's breathtaking... yet terrible. The Light burns the venthyr here, scorching their flesh and driving them mad. The only reprieve is darkness, but thugs have taken over every inch of shelter outside of this sanctuary. There is no redemption for them. Only justice.
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.
- Actions Speak Louder than Words
<The ash ghoul inspects you, checking your weapons and armor closely. He shifts his eyes from you to your kyrian companions before checking back in with Theotar, who nods to him. Alwin motions for you to follow him.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Light Respite
We passed many ash ghouls on the way here, screaming in pain from their Light-dispensed burns. And after meeting Alwin and the others here, my heart aches for them. They have lost much of who they once were, and suffer daily for it. Please, collect some berries from the Ashen Traverse.
