Coords are 75,46 and 72,46. If you don't have coords: on the map it is right on the 'on' of 'Hall of Origination' around the tower and directly across the ways, as well, at the other tower. They look like little tablets that are broken lying on the ground.
Note: These doesn't sparkle as much as you'd expect from a lootable quest-item.

Description
There is an old story about Nahom. It speaks of how a powerful prophet named Atulhet held off troves of enemies by channeling the power of the sun through this very temple. Most believe the tale to be just a legend, but that power... would certainly be useful to us now. The vile Neferset have ransacked Atulhet's tomb. They've taken any artifacts of power and shattered the tablets that encode his memories. Go to the Tombs of the Precursors to the east and retrieve any fragments that you find.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nahom Must Hold
As soon as we make our move west in order to attack Neferset City, the enemy will strike us from the east, where we'll be weak. Nahom will be the first to fall, and if it does, Ramkahen will soon follow. A small detachment is there already. Get a briefing from them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Punish the Trespassers
We, priests of Nahom, are guardians of the Tombs of the Precursors. Ever since the Neferset turned to their new masters, they've turned to great heresies. They rob the sacred tombs of our forefathers, seeking powerful artifacts and destroying invaluable relics in the process.
