Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.

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.

Storyline order is the client’s own QuestLine data from the current retail build.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
First: we get as much of that gunpowder as we possibly can. Imagine the terror in the Kul Tirans' eyes when they realize the Horde has turned their own weapons against them. Imagine it, <name>. <Lilian's eyes briefly glaze over, and the corner of her lips turns upward in a half-smile.>
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
This place seems fairly well-defended for a manufacturing facility, doesn't it? <Lilian shrugs.> I suppose we'll have to kill them, then.
The First Assault has 12 steps, from Breaking Kul Tiran Will to The Bridgeport Ride.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Tiragarde Sound (12).
Steps of this storyline count toward:
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
