TheWoWDBAt this date this quest is still bugged.
The Totem of Serenity can't be clicked.But I found a work-around.
It's very simple, find a key on your keyboard that isn't beeing used.
- Press Esc
- Select Key Bindings
- Find the key binds group "Targeting Functions".
- In this group, find "Interact With Target"
- Click on the first "not bound" and press the unused key.
- Close the menu.Now, type on your chat the following:
/tar totem of serenityAnd press the key you just bounded to "Interact With Target".
You might get an error, asking you to approach your target, do so, and keep pressing the key.You should now have started the event.
Kill the spawned NPCDone!
I hope this helps someone. :)

You should be careful to either be very near to Yalia or very far away from her, i was like between near and far and one freekin totem spawn on me so i stucked inside it and i could not move, i was ready to use hearthstone but luckily i am a warlock so i used demonic gateway to teleport and unstuck.

Description
If my suspicions are correct, this place still reels from some lingering darkness. Whatever happened here... it could not have been the natural course of events. Even the yaungol are not so brutal as to slaughter their own kind to the point of... this. I will use the totems that you brought me to perform a cleansing ritual. I need someone to assist me in the ceremony. Let me know when you are ready.

Works as of today. I stood right inside her green circle and was safe. All the totems worked. Be prepared to fight right away after you choose the third totem. Lots of shock and awe!

Ban has asked me to explore the village to determine what happened here. I noticed smoke rising up from the east, the west, northwest, and the south. I need someone I trust to watch my back. What do you say? Want to help me on my first scouting mission?

The spirits of the fallen villagers have risen! I can feel the hatred emanating from the spirits. <name>, if we are to survive here, we must defend ourselves. This is the only way we can put them to rest.
