All my quest chains end at this point. I have no idea where to go to get more quests in Hyjal, and I know there are dozens more. This "questing on a rail" sucks.

Edit: Go back to Ysera at Nordrassil for the next quest.

What to do

StorylineMount Hyjal, step 77 of 118

Description

{name}, you've done all you can here. This whole cavern is about to collapse in on itself! I'll gather up the last of our feathered steeds and ensure that the flamegate is sealed behind me. You should go on ahead and let Aviana know that this abominable hatchery is no more!

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.
