When commenting, please compose something that is helpful to actually completing the quest rather than just information about the quest. In this case, coordinates and/or information about where the quest objective is and any pertaining details would be very helpful.

For Swamp of Sorrows, the bonfire is located just outside the Horde encampment of Stonard. The coordinates are 46,46. Level 65 non-elite Horde guards are nearby to engage lower levels accordingly.

when I went to the supposed Horde bonfire at Bogpaddle, it was actually an Alliance questgiver to honor the flame, which left me slightly confused. I was under the impression I was going to desecrate a bonfire.

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.
