I found him right outside Falcon Watch.

WARNING: He doesn't have a ? over his head, so you have to look at his name. Go up to him and talk to him, and after you talk he'll dismount and attack you.

Once you get him to 20% (it's an easy fight), he'll give you the next quest in the chain.

Description

Arelion's journal does not deal with any sort of scholarly studies. It details his escapades with a young female blood elf! How could I've been such a fool? Unfortunately, the floozy's identity is not revealed in this journal. Aledis, a colleague of Arelion's, was his best friend and confidant. Go question him and find out who he was having this affair with. I saw Aledis leave Falcon Watch for Zangarmarsh. Follow the road headed north from town; it'll eventually lead west, toward Zangarmarsh.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Arelion's JournalHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    My husband, Arelion, had been fascinated with the Pools of Aggonar ever since we arrived in Outland. He spent much of his time studying slimes, of all things! He went missing in there a few days ago. They say he's dead and there's nothing I can do about it.

After this quest

  • The Mistress RevealedHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    I'm Arelion's friend, but I'm not going to take the beating of my life for him. His mistress is Viera Sunwhisper. Go tell that harpy of a wife of his. What's she going to do anyway?
