Previous: To the Dragon Isles!
Parallel: Primal Pests, Practice Materials
Plus you might as well do the bonus objective: Primal Scythid Queen
And you'll pick up [item=202081] which starts Dragon Isles Supplies, but only on your first character perhaps.
Next: Where is Wrathion?
Also leads to: Give Peace a Chance, From Such Great Heights, Dragon Isles Cooking and other profession quests e.g. Dragon Isles Leatherworking, Dragon Isles Engineering

Description

Don't mistake the expedition's scholarly pursuits as timidness, {name}. We are not recluses studying books in far-off towers. We are adventurers, hunting down knowledge first-hand in every corner of Azeroth! That same passion for adventure often leads us into the path of perils and hazards, and a few expedition members have bitten off a little more than they could chew... But, hey, the danger makes it more fun!

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To the Dragon Isles!Dragon Isles · Level 10-70

    Great news, <name>! The spearhead of our expedition has made landfall in the Dragon Isles. Thanks to the efforts of yerself and other Dragonscale Expedition members, we've established a protected landing site and made contact with the dragonflight's embassy.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Primal PestsThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    <Azurathel glances suspiciously at the proto-dragons lurking on the ridge behind him.> I'd swear that those proto-dragons edge closer to camp every time I turn my back... Those are not the dragons Wrathion invited us here to meet. Proto-dragons are ruthless predators who cannot be reasoned with.
