TheWoWDBWorth noting that the quests in this area are all only available to Blood Elves, so if you're running a lvl 1 of another race to Sunstrider Isle to level, you'll be grinding the first few levels.

Mana wyrms are located just south of the quest giver.
OneJosh is absolutely correct - I learned this the hard way. If grinding is not your thing, do the quests in your normal starting zone, and when you've reached level 5 or 6, start heading to the Blood Elf lands. Keep in mind that, despite the fact that all the "newbie" quests are Blood Elf only, the quest that directs you to Falconwing Square seems to be available to any race. The quest is "Slain by the Wretched," (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9704) and is given by Outrunner Alarion, who can be found standing on the east side of the bridge that connects Sunstrider Isle to the mainland.

Description
The sooner you begin your education, {name}, the better for us all. There is little room for error, so listen closely. The Burning Crystals - the green floating objects to the west of the Sunspire here - have long been used to power the isle's experimentations. The mana wyrms were their guardians, but the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas has driven them errant from our lack of magical control over them. There is little choice but to thin their numbers for reclamation. Do this, then return to me.

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.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unfortunate Measures
Your effort has made something clear that, honestly, I wish were not true. The unchecked power of the Burning Crystals has maligned a much larger swath of the isle's natural balance than I thought. We must now take on more unfortunate measures to reclaim control.
