TheWoWDBI didn't get this quest. I think it was because I talked to Talen before I was offered the quest.

If you by happen chance picked up the quest - The Ancient Statuettes - from Talen at the Strand flight point then abandon it and you will be able to get this quest first - West to the Strand - from Sentinel Shyela.

Description
{name}, I have a friend who could make good use of particular talents. His name is Talen and he's an archaeologist of sorts. Recently he's been fascinated with the upheaval of the old city of Zoram and its treasures. If you're willing to lend him a hand, you can find him at the Blackfathom Camp down the path to the west.
