If you have portals, telepoting to "The Waning Crescent" will save your time.

The NPC is in the tavern.
If you're close, you will see Silgryn in front of the tavern and he will say "They are waiting for you in the tavern"

Hope it made sense and saved your time.

Peace.

Description

I have heard whispers from Suramar City. Recent unrest in the city has prompted the nobles to seek another advisor to fill Elisande's council. Such positions are rarely offered and hotly contested. This is the perfect opportunity and Ly'leth is the perfect candidate. Fate smiles upon our cause! I know she has historically chosen to avoid such politics and maneuvering, but we must now ask her to join the fray. Seek her out at the Waning Crescent and ensure her victory.

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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Either With UsSuramar · Level 45

    Thalyssra asks much of me, but our cause is worth the risks. The title of advisor would grant us enormous influence. Information. Access. I could change this rebellion. I could save so many lives. I will need strong endorsement to ascend, though.

Statecraft has 10 steps, from The Perfect Opportunity to Friends With Benefits.
