(Spoilers below)

I found Lin's situation very mirroring of one particular case from vanilla. A spouse in despair sends you in search of the other spouse. Upon looking for the spouse among the living (by which I mean both the living Pandaren and the other people in /1) you finally find the missing spouse, lying beaten and dead on the ground, killed by a race of savage animal-people. Once the news breaks, the remaining spouse swears vengeance against the people who killed her partner.

R.I.P. Lin Silentstrike, a.k.a. Mankrik's Wife II.

Description

I must ask a most important task of you, {name}. Somewhere among the cages in the Osul camp is my husband, Lin. He is the light of my world. Please find him and return him to me, and save as many of our fellow Shado-Pan as you can as well. You should find keys to those cages on the Osul Marauders.

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.
