If, like me, you go off and play an alt for ages and then can't remember how to summon the guy to hand the quest into, you're looking for the Westguard Command Insignia which should be in your bags.

What to do
Description
Captain Adams gave me strict instructions to make sure that a good deal of infrastructure damage was inflicted on this site. However, since you're in charge out here, that's at your discretion, sir. May I suggest that we burn down the two longhouses and the barracks that are in the lower area of Skorn? All we have to do is get inside each and throw this torch.
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.
- Gruesome, But Necessary
We've had reports that these vrykul can rise from the dead; not unlike the Scourge, but a different kind of undeath. Let's not take any chances. Here, take my machete. As we move through this place, you'll need to carve up the remains of the vrykul that we take down.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Towers of Certain Doom
Sir, as we move through Skorn, we have to bring down those towers! If you have a look at them, you'll notice that their tops are lined with casters. Getting too close to them would mean certain doom for us! However, we do have it within our means to call in cannon volleys from Westguard Keep.
