The area you need is the same 1 where you do the wq "Freeing the Taken" which requires you to release 4 prisoners.

It's probably easier to take the Waning Crescent / Evermoon Terrace portal and head to the area over the water north rather than taking the sanctum of order portal and having to work your way down to the area.

I did the quest at 47.64 personally but anywhere up on the terrace with the prisoners is fine.

Description

Never a dull moment! Well... perhaps this is not entirely true. I'm afraid I must ask you once more to return to the city to gather information. But this is not just any information - this is information extraction! I require specific coordinates to allow me to focus my teleportations with extreme accuracy. It will, unfortunately, take a bit of time to dig through the information once retrieved, but no matter. We have plenty else to do in the meantime.

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.
