TheWoWDBThe map-marker is going to point you in the wrong direction for this quest (as of right now in the beta), and it might confuse you as badly as it confused me so ignore it. Instead, you want to go to the southern-most point of the ledge overlooking the heart (which is the giant purple pumping thing in the middle of Nespirah). You'll see the corpses of some Naga, and the guys you're looking for are here. The alliance equivalent for this quest are on the northern edge of this ledge, also with dead naga around them.

Still very surprised this quest isn't given by another npc.
Just leave the room where the quest giver is and turn right and follow the wall. You will have to fight one or two guards with the pets but not that bad.

Description
<Duarn closes his eyes, pauses, and nods.> Nespirah has just informed me that we are not the only people fighting inside of this shell. A small group of Horde slaves has escaped and is currently fighting off the naga on the other side of the shell, up on the ledge that overlooks Nespirah's heart. Go find them, {name}, and see what help they can lend us. With their aid, we may be able to rouse Nespirah from her torpor. I will remain here, should you need anything.

- Breaking Through
A trained shaman has the ability to communicate with the four elements of earth, fire, air and water. This is known. What is not as widely known, however, is the presence of a fifth element. This element is not as clearly described as the other four, but it has to do with the shared...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hopelessly Gearless
I honestly don't know how we've survived this long. The naga took my armor and weapons, and left me with rags and a mining pick... and THAT snapped in half long ago. If we're to stand any hope of turning the tide, I'm going to need something to fight with...
