To save you wasting a lot of time (like I did) looking for how to reach this NPC, here's how to find him.
1. Look on your map of Nagrand and locate the lake that looks vaguely like a boot. The coordinates of the middle of the lake are roughly 63.50,75.50. If you don't have an addon that shows coordinates, the lake is just north of where the quest location is marked on your map.
2. Ride there coming in from the North, heading South - all the other arrival directions are pretty tricky.
3. When you arrive at the lake shore, choose a mount that's capable of water walking or use a water walking flask (or you can swim!) and go to the south eastern end of the lake - the 'heel' of the boot at 65.06,79.93
4. There you will find an easy ramp up from the waters surface that takes you easily straight up to the NPC.
5. Ride up to the mob, kill it and win.Warning: If you swim the lake, there are eels in there that will attack you - just so you know :)
Good luck

Description
I've got one last challenge for ye, commander, but if it isn't a doozy. They call them the garn. Wolves as black as night, and twice the size of a normal wolf, they can tear a man apart in seconds. Any beast in their right mind would be scared witless at the sight of such a predator. There's a lone garn that's made it from their usual home in Frostfire, all the way over to Nagrand. Take your elekk, mount up, and bring it down. If the two of you survive, your elekk will truly be ready.
