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.
