you should have something called westguard command insigna.it summons the person you need to turn in the quest.
ok i was doing this quest on my priest, he has his flyer, at the same time as i was doing the tower burning quest
i was able to use a flare to mark a tower then fly up to the dead casters (as a result of the flare) and dismember them, didnt have to kill individual mobs, at least not after i found out i could do this.

Description
We've had reports that these vrykul can rise from the dead; not unlike the Scourge, but a different kind of undeath. Let's not take any chances. Here, take my machete. As we move through this place, you'll need to carve up the remains of the vrykul that we take down. I'd do it, but I have a sensitive stomach. <The sergeant smirks.> I spent all morning sharpening it, so it should do the job.

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.

Captain Adams gave me strict instructions to make sure that a good deal of infrastructure damage was inflicted on this site. However, since you're in charge out here, that's at your discretion, sir.
