Does this require a previous quest or revered or exalted Ankoan to drop? 10+ kills and nothing. Seems odd to be this rare for a story line quest.

What to do
Description
These spirits keep speaking of the Javelins of Azshara. At first, I believed it to be referring to the handmaidens, who are currently holed up in Elun'alor. But -- now I think they are referring to the Javelins of Suramar. They were powerful weapons -- long thought lost. Azshara does like to claim things as her own. We need to defeat her handmaiden in Elun'alor regardless. Seizing the Javelins would be an amazing stroke of fortune.
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.
- Purging the Defilers
Azshara always did need everything to be about her. Everything had to have her name on it. Everything was for her glory. She forgot our people's connection to Elune. Or perhaps she believed it did not matter? Azshara and her minions have too long defiled this place with their heresy.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- There's Something in the Water
The Ankoan must contend with threats from not only the naga, but also the horrors of N'Zoth. We learned early that if we allow his infection even the smallest purchase, he will grow and corrupt everything. There is a great evil who is lingering near the waterway that flows through this place.
