"Commander" Nazrim seems to be a reference to Nazrin from Touhou Project.

Edit: To explain what I am talking about:

Nazrin is a character from Touhou Project, a series of Japanese shmups. She is a mouse youkai and is depicted as a leader of her kind. Her theme song is 小さな小さな賢将, translated as 'A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander'.

"Commander" Nazrim is the objective of the quest 'A Tiny, Clever Commander'. The NPC in question is a kobold, which are, as everyone knows, rat-like in appearance. This NPC is also acting as a sort of leader of its kind.

Description

We've dealt with kobolds in these lands for years. Not much other than a nuisance. But they've been getting craftier at their stealing. I think one of them's ended up smarter than usual. Won't be that way for long, though! I want you to go to the camp south of here and make sure there's not a "big shot" kobold stirrin' up the other ones. Make sure to check the cave; it's a likely spot. And don't be shy about clearing out the other kobolds along the way.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • WANTED: The Dark Iron SpyLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    A dark iron spy has infiltrated the town, stolen documents from the Explorers' League establishment, and is now in hiding somewhere nearby. He was last sighted near the top of the hill to the south of town. A sizable reward awaits anyone who can bring this spy to justice.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Kobold and KobolderLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    Now that those little blighters are dealt with, we've got more to take care of. The tunnel rats are swarming all over the Silver Stream Mine, setting up camps and sniffing around further and further every day. Greedy little things are looking for loot, I gather.
