So, now blizzard is trying make Sylvanas worse. She's still using her plagues to kill The Alliance?
Not that my main needs it, but: quest given by the King of Gilneas... does not give any [faction=1134] rep.

Description
It is true that we may have a lead on Sylvanas. Though I want nothing more than to get my hands on the Banshee Queen, the situation here at Greywatch requires immediate attention. Yesterday, a regiment of guards returned with word of Forsaken forces in the woods. Several of them bore signs of a blight, similar to the one we endured in Gilneas. It would appear these Forsaken seek to unleash this blight upon Greywatch. Seek out their caches and destroy them, before the blight overtakes us!

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.
- To Catch a Banshee
The strange-talking vrykul said I might be able to meet you here. I have orders from Greymane. It seems he may have a lead on Sylvanas' location. He's set up a camp near the base of the mountain. We've run into some troubles, though. It looks like the Horde may have homed in on our position.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Whispers from the Dark
We still have little knowledge of the Horde's activities in the region, but I'm hoping you can help change that. Lately the woods have been crawling with Sylvanas' agents. The few we have taken out carried orders from her Dark Rangers, who are no doubt in command of her forces here.
