TheWoWDBFigured out the controls. Right click on the Thrower while you're in it and drag to aim, once you're aimed, just hit the 1 key to shoot the glaive.

This may be an odd question but, anyone had the chance to attack Horde players with the Glaive Thrower? Does it work? 13k damage would be a spiffy way to deter higher-level gankers.
I may avoid killing the last flier just to wait and see.
After completing this quest Astranaar will be just like it used to be, no raiders present and not on fire.
Thank goodness for that! I wasn't looking forward to questing with Raene while worrying about the inn's roof caving in due to flames.

The fires are mostly contained, but we have to do something about those wind riders! Quick, {name}, you have to jump into one of our glaive throwers and return fire!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Astranaar's Burning!
<class>, Astranaar's burning! Quickly, take this bucket of water and put out the fires before there's nothing left!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Elune's Tear
I'd hoped Orendil's cure would save Relara, but I fear it only slowed the disease running through her. We must find more powerful medicine! Thankfully, Orendil spoke to me of further remedies should his first one fail.
