TheWoWDBYou have to wait between 5-15 minutes until the quest giver spawn's. He seems to have a slow bug or something until he appears.
Simply wait at that point the quest is showing on the map

As of 10/12/2020, seems still bugged but THIS WORKED FOR ME almost everytime and completed my quest in 5 minutes.
Pull any Forsworn on the Steward, chains will appear between them and on kill, i was able to freed him!
Lemme know if is working only for me
EDIT: Try with every mob you can, Forsworn doesnt work 100%of the time!
So, I tried all of the following as suggested by these comments: relogging, reloading, leaving and re-entering the zone, pulling mobs on top of the adds that needed to be interacted with, and freeing another person's kill (which felt a little bad). However, I did not have luck with any of these methods.
What did work for me is pulling the Forsworn that was chained to the NPC away from it's spawned position (10-15 yards), and killing them there. For whatever reason, if I killed the Forsworn at it's spawn location--even if it had chained the NPC--I could not free the swole owls. But if I pulled them away from their spawn and killed them I was able to free 100% of the time.
I hope this helps someone that is running into the same issues. Cheers!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Eternal Forge
The Forgelite Prime has taken up the mantle of building our new Crest of Ascension. No ordinary tools or materials will do. He will require Phaestus, Genesis of Aeons, Hammer of the First Forgelite. It sits at the shrine to the First Forgelite in the Eternal Forge.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Refining Ego
I will locate Phaestus. In the meantime, task for you! The Forsworn use my forge to make their centurion army. Their vile intentions warp the metals we use! Destroy their centurions, take their parts. Smelt them down in the forge to purify the metals, then return to me.
