TheWoWDBObviously a reference to A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of George R. R. Martin novels. If, like me, you haven't yet read the novels, you may still know of the story from having seen or heard about the show Game of Thrones.
Durotan is the leader of the Frostwolf clan. He's "kind of a big deal" in Frostfire Ridge, as Frostfire Ridge is Frostwolf Territory.
I'm personally looking forward to getting a glimpse of Draka.

I think it's safe to say that a lot of prominent quest NPCs will die during the course of this questline.
Bloody hell,
there will be a lot of death, will we see the quest giver die?

Description
You have rescued many of my clan from the slave pens of Tanaan. Their liberation and the destruction of the Dark Portal are more than enough for me to consider you one of us. However, you are still a stranger to our leader, Durotan. I would like to introduce you to him.
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.
