If, like me, you got to the waypoint marked on the map and were confused, don't worry, it's not in the Tal'gurub ruins. For some reason it didn't activate when I arrived, but when I ran around the big tree right near where the marker was, it suddenly activated. So don't be confused, it's just a bit buggy/laggy.

Bits of the shrine appear on the ground and you have to follow them, then talk to Jani at his shrine, and run back. It's fairly simple.

Description

<A gentle voice enters your mind.> I am pleased with your efforts. He will not soon forget the kindness you have shown him, and so he will not soon forget me. Now your journey will take you south. I can no longer sense one of my wayshrines. If you can determine what has happened to it and restore it, I would be grateful.

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.
