Sometimes if you destroy all four controllers you're still unable to click the portal hovering over the lake. This happened to me, just wait until all four controllers respawn and repeat until you can select the portal.

I apologize in advance if this is something that was obvious to everyone but me:
Only the Draenei can continue the quest chain past this point. T.T

Description

Thanks to you and the work you did, my scouts were able to find the sun gate. The elves keep the portal location mobile so that they can move it at a moment's notice. That's why the site you investigated was empty. The strength of such a system is also its greatest weakness. The sun gate is stabilized by portal controllers. If we can take down the controllers, the portal will be ours to destroy. The current sun gate location can be found west of here, south of the Vector Coil. Find it and destroy it!

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Ending Their WorldBloodmyst Isle · Level 1-30
Don't accept this assignment if you value your life. You see that gigantic power core jutting out of the mountain side over yonder? Whoever takes on this burden will need to fight their way through that mountain, battling an army of Sunhawks while protecting me as I rig the core up for demolition.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Maatparm Mushroom MenagerieBloodmyst Isle · Level 1-30
Did you know mushroom hunting is far more dangerous than mushroom consumption? Mushroom hunters expose themselves to many unknowns - not including potential wildlife dangers! What would life be without a little danger? I am in need of mushrooms for my collection.
