Easy grind is right. The are six of these that spawn inside the Inn alone! Kinda hilarious to grind XP while earning rested XP at the same time.

What to do
Description
Let it be known that Zorus does have a sense of humor. Enough small talk. Don the Spectrecles so that you are able to see the Shadowmoon orc spirits that wander this stronghold. Do not be frightened as we are truly the invaders here. Alas, they must be destroyed, for their time has long since passed. Destroy the Shadowmoon harbingers infesting Wildhammer Stronghold and return to me.
Where to go
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Ghost in the Machine
I fear that these dwarves do not understand what they have built upon. This area was once the ancestral grounds for the Shadowmoon orcs. I speak of spirits, <race>. For nearly twenty years they have laid dormant beneath the Wildhammer Stronghold, but recently, something has riled them up.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Teron Gorefiend - Lore and Legend
Stories abound about the life of Teron Gorefiend, but most are just that - stories. We do not know what happened to Gorefiend after he returned to Draenor. The only thing we are certain of is that he has already died once.
