Please note that the NPC you have to kill is named Warden Azjakir and not Zin'jatar Warden - I was looking for like 15 minutes with /tar zin'jatar war and then found out that the mob is named Warden Azjakir and found him right away

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DecompressionKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    I simply cannot bear the thought of so many others like this warrior imprisoned, surrounded by naga. Something must be done to rescue them! Try this, <name>. Use it on the prison cells to make them buoyant. If we can get them to the surface, at least they stand a chance at being rescued.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Across the Great DivideShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    We will need to press deeper into Vashj'ir if we want to uncover what the naga are doing here. Go to the Lightless Reaches, the giant chasm bordering the Kelp'thar Forest to the west. If you look across it, you should see a cluster of plant-life surrounding the entrance to Damplight Chamber.
