If the game is telling you it's ready to turn in but it won't let you, try bandaging the Wound Riftwalker who is about ten yards NW of the turn in. That's what fixed it for me.
The wounded NPC is quite hard to find. The Look to the left, next to the mailbox or write
/tar Wounded Riftwalker
and mark the target with an icon

Description
Narathe is right. We are fortunate that void elves have experience battling the Shadowguard. The wastes of K'aresh are merciless, and the battle to come will be as well. I hope they are prepared for a brutal fight. These will not be the scattered scouts they are used to fighting on Telogrus. You should ensure they are ready for the battle to come.
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.
- The Next Dimension
By the Songs of K'aresh, I will join you to face the Shadowguard and Dimensius in battle. Let those that would prey on Untamed K'aresh fear his followers! My scouts have tracked your comrades setting a foothold in Shadowguard territory. They will need our assistance. K'aresh lives!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Sands of K'aresh
My people have fought across every inch of the ruins of our world. We gave our oath to King Salhadaar and he rewarded us by sending the Shadowguard to hunt us down. Salhadaar is long dead, but we knew the Shadowguard would return.
