On the 4th step when you have to enter the tomb and it shows a dot on the minimap... ignore that. Swim to the bottom of the lake, kind of near the middle. There is what looks like a big broken coin or "seal". You have to swim through it, the tomb is underwater. Just like if you were trying to get to any of the Zangamarsh dungeons or SSC.

Hope this helps anyone who can't find it.

Description

The first king of the humans, Thoradin, performed many acts of heroism and valor. While on a personal quest near the end of his reign, he stumbled upon the tomb of my brother Tyr... and the grave-prison of the monstrosity he died fighting. Thoradin unintentionally awoke the beast and gave his life to keep it from escaping. It is Thoradin's sword, Strom'kar, that has kept the monster at bay. Retrieve it and finish what Tyr and Thoradin started. Kill Zakajz the Corrupted.
