[item=192493] is dropped from mobs in the area. Kill the mobs & loot (don't waste your time like I did clicking on everything on the ground!). Go to any of the region quest areas and you should get 10 motes within a 2-3 mins

Description

Raszageth has wasted no time building up her Primalist forces. The Kirin Tor have detected massive storms being unleashed at key points across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. The Primalists are unleashing the elements to add to their strength. It seems they plan to cause chaos not only in the Dragon Isles, but in the lands of the Alliance and Horde as well. Seek out the enemy and study their methods. We have to stop them before it's too late.

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.
