Go DOWN from the quest giver even though it shows an up arrow for Lady Shahrazad. There will be a stairs going up from the left of the area once you go down there. Ran all over the place before I went to what I should have done in the first place. Hope this can help you avoid this mistake.

Description

As you may have seen, the ritualists in this forest kidnap our people and perform heinous rituals on them. The souls of our fallen now roam as twisted creatures. This sin cannot go unpunished. Kill as many ritualists as you are able, but be sure to strike at the dark demon that leads them.

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.

    <name>, you have my thanks. My Wranglers should be able to take it from here. If I can ask one more favor, would you pass a message to Chieftain Hatuun? Tell him the forest is secure once again. I'm sure he will reward you for all of your effort.
