Summary of the "terrible truth" [npc=243759] reveals:
A powerful force not of this world took the goddess from her cradle. She is held captive against her will, unable to return to the Cradle. If the other Haranir knew this, they would rage to the surface and tear the world apart to find her. Aksem feared such an exodus would mean the end of his people.In other words, a total nothingburger.
If the quest is showing up as completed but you don't see it on the map, then you need to go to Harandar
