It's located in plain sight just to the left of the entrance of Isha Gloomaxe's tent. You should definitely see it during Grimtotem Chiefs: Isha Gloomaxe, given by the Freewind Brave.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Grimtotem Chiefs: Isha Gloomaxe
Basic brave philosophy dictates that if you kill the leaders of your enemy's forces, they will soon fall into disarray. We are going to do just that, <class>. Isha Gloomaxe is the closest of the Grimtotem chiefs. We will test her and her axe, and she will be found wanting.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Grimtotem Chiefs: Elder Stormhoof
Elder Stormhoof is a shaman of immense power. Supposedly, he is a direct disciple of Magatha Grimtotem, the Elder Crone, leader of the Grimtotem clan. We know that he's here and that he's been training their geomancers. We have to kill him, <class>.
