On your way out of the cave pause for a moment and you'll get a short in-game cutscene with the eye of twilight:

Hovel Shadowcaster says: What are your orders, Eye of Twilight?
The Eye of Twilight says: I am the Eye of Twilight says... Behold your new master!
The Eye of Twilight says: Your work in Hyjal is done - return from whence you came.
The Eye of Twilight says: Kill anyone who tells you otherwise. So sayeth the Eye!

As a soilder in the Army I would hate take orders from this guy; he never remembers he sent you and doesnt care if you come back alive. . . God forbid I should get my butt captured or wounded and tried calling for help. . . "Uh, and who are you again?" lol

Description

<You force your own image into the Eye, manipulating it to give the ogres different orders. As you do so, you feel another presence within the Eye, probing you, seeking out a weakness. A distant being fumes with rage. You've made some enemies today!> <Your work here is done, and the ogres will be friendly to you. Return to Royce Duskwhisper at the Shrine of Goldrinn and let him know what you've accomplished.>

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.

  • From the Mouth of MadnessMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    I know of a draught that should jolt these gibbering former slaves back to reality. Gather some stonebloom from the rocks around Gar'gol's hovel, some bitterblossom from the shores of the nearby lake, and a darkflame ember from one of the braziers at the hovel entrance.
