In patch 5.4.2, you cannot attack these mobs if you have another character on the same account with exalted reputation. You also cannot change your rep to "at war", because your character does not have Therazane listed as a faction.

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.
