TheWoWDBThe ones that you need to speak with to complete the quest {Pealkeeper Fujin, Watersmith Ot-Temmdo, Instructor Sharpfinand and Elder Lusshan} are located within the Pearlfin Village and have small "speach bubbles" above their heads making them clearly visible. They also showed for me as small speach bubbles on the in-game minimap.

Description
I've been thinking. We are cut off from support and a long way from home. Although these Pearlfin jinyu mistrust our presence, they do not appear to be hostile. If we could convince them that we are their friends, an alliance between our races could prove extremely valuable. {name}, you must go speak to the jinyu around the village. Convince their leaders that we are not to be feared, and that we only wish for peace.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Jailbreak
Without healing, your friend Taylor will die. My village is just east of here, in the middle of the large lake. I will take Taylor myself, but the fighting is most dangerous in that direction. I need you to help clear a path through the hozen, so that I may run safely into my village.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Road Rations
We do not have time to wait around for the Admiral to recover. Sully and I are planning to search for Anduin to the north, but we'll need supplies for our journey. The lake here is teeming with wildlife, which we have received permission to hunt.
