- In the first staircase, you will find a patrol containing 2 Drowned Zealots
- Right below the first staircase, you will find a group of 2 Drowned Zealots and 1 Tidal Corruptor
- After the second staircase, in the circular room, you will find 1 Tidal Corruptor on each side and 1-2 walking around the room
I killed these two times and two random Corruptors outside and it was enough for me to complete the quest.
Big clusters of ~6-8 of these Drowned Zealots at 76.5, 63.4 and 78.0, 23.3

Description
In times like these, it becomes necessary for all of the denizens of the Vale to pitch in and do their part. Unfortunately, I have never been much of a fighter, so my usefulness in times of war is limited. However, I may be able to do some good. You see, we know very little about the invaders we face, and knowledge can be a very powerful weapon. I think I have seen tomes carried by some of the k'thir. If you could bring some to me, I may be able to glean something useful from their writings.
