TheWoWDBJust as a note - The quest says you have to defend "your caravan and get the evacuees to safety" but in reality its just one evacuee who follows you around. No caravan or others. I waited for a while for them to show up...

Ran into a problem with this quest. Ran to the bridges, the evacuee pointed northeast, so I headed to the refugee camp. Without paying attention, I hadn't noticed the evacuee had totally stopped, and lost them, and had to redo the quest. Take care, it's easy to miss the evacuee stopping!
important: when then evacuee points northeast, you have reached the "quest completed" point. but you have to stand near him to achieve it, had to do it twice because of that.

What to do
Description
The path across Transborea, to the east, is the only way to reach the Dragonblight. Many perils await you as you make your journey across the tundra. Beware the Scourge and its influence upon the beasts of the land. Rumors have started to spread about our very own taunka brothers and sisters rising from the dead and attacking caravans on their way to the Dragonblight! Defend your caravan and get the evacuees to safety! Wartook Iceborn waits for you across the bridge leading into the Dragonblight.
