TheWoWDBsometimes bugs and shows the 'kill' credits which are supposed to be invisible. was quite surprised when I saw "kill credit: garrison slain 1/1" upon leaving my garrison until I found out it was from this quest
Speak to Samaara at Embaari Village.
Kill Credit: Garrison slain
Kill Credit: Valley slain
Kill Credit: Shadowmoon slain
Kill Credit: Yrel 1 slain
Kill Credit: Yrel 2 slain
Kill Credit: Yrel 3 slain
Kill Credit: Embaari slain
Kill Credit: Sister slain
Find Samaara at Embaari Village
so not only does our garrison get killed, the entire valley does. poor Yrel died 3 times and loses her sister and a fellow Embaari!

What to do
Description
Prophet Velen has asked me to show you around Shadowmoon Valley. We will go first to Embaari Village, where my sister Samaara is waiting for us. I have not seen her since the Iron Horde took me to Tanaan. The village is just one of many trading villages between the Temple of Karabor and Shattrath. Follow the road east and make your way to Embaari Village. I will accompany you, my friend.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Think of the Children!
When the Shadowmoon attacked Arbor Glen, everything was thrown into chaos. Many of us escaped, but there are still three children missing. I believe they are still back in the village. Please save them!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dark Enemies
Your arrival should be cause for celebration, hero, but I fear our troubles are just beginning. Warlord Ner'zhul and his Shadowmoon clan have launched a surprise attack on a draenei settlement to the north. Prophet Velen has gone to aid the wounded at Teluuna Observatory, but we need more defenders.
