Speak with questgiver and use [npc=130238] mount near the edge of the temple, behind the questgiver
Use action bar spell [spell=251899] and place totems on the ground in spots where you see glowing effect.
Initially it was hard to see the glow, so i hope it will be more noticeable.Offensively Defensive quest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrk8qjV2chQ

Let me guess, Loti had you kill any trolls dat smelled of blood magic, yes? Well, dat is barely a half measure. See, blood magic comes from de old ways, and our people have only been giving in to its allure since de walls fell on our northern border. Come, we will go for a little ride and patrol de border to Nazmir. Dat is where all dese bad ideas are coming from.
