TheWoWDBLooking for some transmogs?
As Albtraum here has mentioned in a reply, you need to do Inspecting the Ruins, then in the ruins you will find 3 quests.
Hand them in, and you will get a chain of others that are fairly straightforward and all of them from Vimes only. You might talk to some NPCs of Theramore Isle, but it's mostly just running across the map. Finish up, and you will get The Deserters which will finally send you over to Darill for this quest.

How do you do this quest? The NPC that leads to Darill is no where to be found? Plz Help!
You need to talk with [npc=4944] in Theramore first and take Inspecting the Ruins quest. Later on this questchain Cpt. Vimes will send you to [npc=23568] to investigate evidences related to Grimtotem. Or, probably, you can start right in the Shady Rest Inn at the South Barrens border and take all quests there, they will lead you back to Theramore anyway.

If the equipment you found at the ruins of the inn belonged to a Grimtotem attack party, there's likely to be more just like it within their camp to the northwest. We haven't been able to gather much information about Blackhoof Village, but judging from the size of the raiding parties, there's a substantial force based there. Do whatever you have to to capture some of their equipment so that we can compare it with your findings from the inn.

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.
- Confirming the Suspicion
The Grimtotems may be the most warlike of all the tauren clans, but they're by no means unorganized. If they're the ones who put the torch to the Shady Rest Inn, they'll have had orders from one of their clan elders. There's a large Grimtotem settlement called Blackhoof Village to the northwest.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Raptor Captor
The patch of swamp to the northeast is home to a particularly nasty breed of raptors. We've lost more than one unwary soldier to them, but I think we can turn them against our Grimtotem neighbors. Take this rope and use it to capture Bloodfen raptors or Bloodfen screechers that you've subdued.
