TheWoWDBI couldn't figure out how to get to the second floor of the Elun'alor Temple. Run towards Kramp't then go out the left side. You will see a staircase on your right that is attached to the other building. Go up the stairs, run down the hallway and make a left to go across a bridge. Azshara will greet you there with a message before you head over to Thalyssra.

Description
The Javelins of Suramar! Wielded by Azshara herself, they contain immense magical power. She has always had a fondness for bestowing favors on her favorites, but I never suspected she would give one something so valuable as one of her Javelins. This foe must be formidable indeed. Nevertheless, {name}, we cannot let this opportunity pass us. Defeat the handmaiden and retrieve the relic!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Speak with the Dead
So many souls perished beneath the waves. Too many sacrificed for her ambition. It is strange that the spirits here have not departed. I wonder if they even know they are dead? Still, their knowledge might be useful to us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- We'll Poke Their Eye Out
The Javelins were some of Suramar's finest creations before the Sundering. Their magic is ancient and potent. Perhaps strong enough to defeat Azshara's wards. Hurry back to Newhome. We must tell the others of our success here. You have done well.
