This is a sad questline. This guy is one of the biggest heroes of the Suramar storyline, without him and his research they wouldn't have had a chance.
This guy and [npc=104618]. They should have some kind of statue to them both.
Don't forget to take [item=136269]. It is near Falanaar 21.0, 54.5 + 100 [currency=1155] manapool

<You bundle the notes and store them away in your pack. According to his final journal entry, Kel'danath used something called a "spellstone" in his experiments. The spellstone, if not the arcanist himself, must be nearby.>

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Re-Warding Effort
<This small device of elegant nightborne design crackles gently with arcane power. Kel'danath's notes mention wards that keep the withered at bay. It seems he found some form of spellcasting that does not tempt their ravenous appetite for magic.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Subject 16
<It seems Theryn is still under the arcanist's spell. In the absence of Kel'danath himself, a live subject could be useful in helping Thalyssra unravel his research.>
