TheWoWDBWhen I completed this quest I got 2,047 XP, not 1,950 like it says.Since that's about 5% more xp than what is stated, I will assume that your guild is between level 2 and 6, so you have Fast Track.

Description
I've spoken with Inspector Tarem regarding the evidence you gathered from the ruins of the Shady Rest Inn. He seems certain that the hoofprints and the shield you found there point to the Grimtotem clan of tauren. With reports of Grimtotem activity on the rise in the marsh, this has to be more than a mere coincidence. I'm sending you to speak with Captain Darill, who is something of an expert on the Grimtotems. Follow the road north out of town to North Point tower. It's the second outpost on the road.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Deserters
Reethe? That coward? We threw him out of camp because he insisted on raiding the supplies of the ogres up at Brackenwall Village. We're not so many in number that we could stand up to those mindless brutes. He crossed the line one too many times, so we left him to fend for himself.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Confirming the Suspicion
The Grimtotems may be the most warlike of all the tauren clans, but they're by no means unorganized. If they're the ones who put the torch to the Shady Rest Inn, they'll have had orders from one of their clan elders. There's a large Grimtotem settlement called Blackhoof Village to the northwest.
