Upon entering the area, the World Quest giver, Vydhar, has this to say...
Vydhar: Dreyrgrot is infested with pirate... vampires... pira-vamp... vampirates? GRAH! Just go slay them. The fools are plundering relics we buried for a reason. Such cursed artifacts were never meant to be unearthed.
And upon completing said quest...
Vydha: Those artifacts would have caused grave harm in the hands of those greedy fiends. You did well to retrieve them.

This quest is probably a nod to the tv-series Supernatural, or the book titles "Vampirates".
Quote from the Supernatural wiki
""Vampirates", or Vampire pirates, refers to the nest of vampires ruled by a ancient and powerful vampire known as "The Old Man". They would find private yachts heading for far away destinations, feed on the owners and then sink the boat to cover up their crimes."Quote from the Vampirates wikipedia page
"Vampirates is a series of books by British author Justin Somper, about a set of twin children, Connor and Grace Tempest, who get separated at sea and are picked up by two very different ships. The term Vampirate refers to a vampire living on the pirate ship"
The Empowered Runestone drops from the mobs at the beach, not 100% drop chance. So you might have to kill a few to complete it.
