Collecting ears? Just like old times, Blizzard! Just let me get my Godly Great Sword of the Whale (Duped, natch) and then I can go show my new "friends" the first basement level of the cathedral!
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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Desolace, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

We are a forward post, charged with monitoring potential adversaries. Once the Horde launches its Desolace campaign, our work here will ensure that nothing takes us by surprise. Recently, one of our scouts was caught and sacrificed by the Burning Blade at their stronghold to the east.
With his dying breath, Kohor mentioned the summoning of a demon that could threaten the entire region. He may have been bluffing, but that's not a chance worth taking. This cannot wait for the Horde's invasion of Desolace to take shape.
