After catching my breath from the fantastic view, I thought, jeez - I have to run down the mountain and all the way over there? I even considered jumping and spirit rezzing may be quicker. A nice surprise for us old timers and a beautiful way to bring us out of the starting zone. Without death. :)
Don't ride your Chauferred Mechano-Hog for this quest. Put your feet on the grass and walk. Climb the mountain path. The mesa is a metaphor for your climb to max level. If you rush it, you will miss the wonderful world around you.

Description
Look, {name}. The rolling plains of Mulgore stretch before you: our home, the cradle of the Earth Mother. Here she provides us with all we could ever need, a peaceful and verdant land. This is what you will fight to protect. Your journey will take you far beyond her sheltering arms, to the farthest and cruelest regions of this world, and beyond. Below us is Bloodhoof Village. The first step on your true path begins now. Drink deep of the Water of Vision, and let the spirits guide you onward.
