Wavespeaker Valoren says: Let me have a look at that shard, would you Admiral? I could feel it's power radiating from the other side of the cave.
Admiral Dvorek says: Of course. It's all yours.
Wavespeaker Valoren says: Thank you.
Wavespeaker Valoren says: Erunak, take a look at this. This looks like a sufficient focus for the vision magics I was speaking to you about.
Wavespeaker Valoren says: I will prepare the enchantment right away then. This may finally shed some light on the means and intentions of the naga.

StorylineVashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse, step 81 of 149
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP
Description
All around you lie the remnants of a fierce battle. The naga skeletons are no surprise, but the weapons and remains of their apparent opponents are somewhat more unexpected. Amidst the bones, you spot a strangely prominent piece of metal jutting out from one of the skulls. It's difficult to tell what sort of weapon it might have once been part of, but it stands out sufficiently to prompt you to retrieve it as evidence. Surely someone back at the cave would be interested in this revelation.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Better Vantage
This cave is our only refuge. There's no help on the way. Whatever happens, this cave must remain safe or we are all sure to die down here. We need a forward post to launch our attacks from. Something defensible.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Visions of the Past: The Invasion of Vashj'ir
The shard you recovered looks to be of naga origin. I had hoped to find a strong focal object like this for a spell I've been working on that would allow us to glimpse into the recent past. I've enchanted the blade, but you'll have to take it to a place where we know its owner was.
