TheWoWDBDon't fly around for 10 minutes, like me, flying around killing cultists on the higher level. They are inside a cave. Entrance is at /way /way 51.9, 33.4 and the two items drop very quickly. This is also a Horde quest in addition to being an Alliance one.

Start: [npc=170467]
Wowhead, you have this listed as an Alliance only quest, it's both. I'm Horde and I got it from [npc=170467] with the follow up on the second foothold location /way 45.00, 44.80.
Which isn't surprising as during the first foothold quests, both Alliance and Horde were able to tag and kill the last mob and both get credit for the kill and completion of the quest.

Description
Though our scouts have been able to infiltrate the cultist forces at Aldur'thar, sneaking into Mord'rethar has proven all but impossible. Perhaps it is time to explore other methods of ingress. Start by investigating the cult's nearby ritual chambers. You may find something of use.

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.

Our preparations are complete. It is time we take the fight to the Scourge. Justicar Trueheart has tasked me with leading our efforts at the forward camp. Meet me there and we shall continue our work together.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fighting for Attention
Maintaining a watchful eye on the Cult of the Damned has proven challenging... and perilous. Several of our hippogryph riders recently ran afoul of the cult's winged terrors. Though a few were able to escape, the others were captured and brought to Aldur'thar.
