I wasn't able to turn in the quest (Guardian Molan not there) while I was on Night Fae Campaign: Da Boss until right before I finished that campaign story.

Description

Something stinks, traveler. The air to the west is rotten with malice. Shimmerbough has long been a peaceful way station along the Path of Rebirth. The faeries there delight in revelry and celebration. But now their glade has fallen silent. Scouts bring reports of the strange masked night fae. I know little other than that they are a threat. For the sake of Ardenweald, they must be eliminated. Slay any you encounter.

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.
