TheWoWDBObviously, the mobs are all on The Path of Conquest. Good place to fight mobs is 55,69, where the path starts on the back side. Holy Paladins can solo this (I did), but expect to take about 5 minutes per Son of Corok.

Can I give in the quest in any other way because I wasn't provided with a Flare Gun and Thane Yoregar won't give me another ?

Description
We're going to need more time, {race}. I'm going to fly further ahead with some of the other gryphon riders. Hopefully, we can gather some more information. What I need from you now is to clear a path and more importantly, keep their arrows pointed away from us! Call for a gryphon rider with the Wildhammer flare gun once you have thinned their numbers.
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.
- The Path of Conquest
My gryphon riders have come back with a bit of news! The Eclipsion blood elves are planning something big. They've begun forming their armies at the Path of Conquest, located east of here - adjacent to Eclipse Point. I want you to travel to the Path of Conquest and assess the situation.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blood Elf + Giant = ???
At the southern end of the Path of Conquest, near a stationary caravan, I discovered what looked like a meeting between a giant and a blood elf chancellor. What are giants even doing here? Something is just not right about all of this, grunt.
