Take the bridge at 36, 49 and follow the road
Follow the road, then cross the bridge. The guy you're looking for is a mob on the boat, which you have to kill. (If he's not there, just wait for the spawn.)
Hope this makes it easier to find.

Description
Helya must think her challenge unwinnable. We will show her different. I am unsure what she did, but Helya has weakened you somehow. I have seen similar effects on my shieldmaidens, and now they are trapped by Helya's minions. I may know a way, however. The Kvaldir ships carry special lanterns bound to this place to navigate through the fog. It is said that the light of these lanterns can release bonds of the spirit. There is a kvaldir ship nearby. See if you can find one there.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Eternal Nemesis
<Helya's voice echoes in the sky above the altar> You say that you do not belong here among the unworthy, outsider, but your spirit fragments so easily. How am I to know you speak the truth? I cannot, so you must show me. Bring yourself to the eternal battlefield and face my champion.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sundered
I imagine the power of your weapon will be what allows us to defeat Geir, but right now you are too weak for the confrontation. We must reclaim the missing pieces of your spirit. Helya must have scattered them throughout her realm to keep them from you.
