Ugh, I'm inside Grommash Hold, Lady Sylvanas Windrunner is here, and she does not let me turn in the quest to her. Another bug report to Blizzard...
Edit: so it turns out that this was apparently because I had the Saurfang quest of 8.1 in my log also. Even though I had turned it in, Sylvanas wasn't letting me turn in this quest. When I left Grommash Hold to just outside the door and went right back in, she let me turn in the quest.

I really don't understand how this series of quests doesn't reward you ANY rep for Honorbound. That's pretty ^&*!ing obnoxious.

The blood of Azeroth crystalizes into chunks of Azerite, an extremely potent and powerful material.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
