Next quest - Into Anguish.

If you talk to Yrel before you head into the questing area, she talks about her sister:

Samaara is the only family that I have. As long as I can remember, she has taken care of me.

She is good and kind, whereas I am...not as convicted.

If you talk to Rangari Saa'to before you head in, he brags about his troops:

My rangari are the absolute best at laying traps and creating camouflaged illusions. The Shadowmoon have no idea we are here.

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.
