TheWoWDBThere is a bug that makes this quest impossible to finish. If you hand in the tokens to the nearby NPCs before starting the quest, you can get soft-locked. Because the NPCs only accept the tokens once, the quest does not count tokens that were already given to them before the quest began.
Update: It is fixed after every reset. If you go to the NPC who gives the quest, you should be able to pick up a new quest that gives you 3 new tokens. That worked for me. Just make sure you have the quest The Subtle Game active when you give the tokens to the NPCs

I found the solution. After the weekly reset I had no quests in my log.
Lord Saltheril offers two quests — you must accept both:
The Subtle Game
Weekly Quest – choose a faction and receive 3 Saltheril’s Favors
Choose a faction (e.g. Blood Knights) → receive 3 Favors.
Turn the 3 Favors in at the factions to unlock a quest.Then return to Lord Saltheril and complete The Subtle Game.
This unlocks the 246 helmet quest.Fly to the runestone, activate it, then return and collect the helmet.
Oh good, it's my least favorite part of Shadowlands copy-pasted.

Description
Appearances are everything. If the court sees that I favor a certain group, they will follow suit. Take these tokens of my favor and hand them out to our honored guests as you see fit. I suspect they may invite you to partake in their plans and share in the profits, if you choose to align yourself with their cause.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- High Esteem
Invitations to my Haven are highly exclusive, especially at a time like this. Extending an offer, even a temporary one, is a great honor. My favor carries quite a bit of weight amongst the aristocracy.
