These banners can be placed on any dead Kil'sorrow mobs found in Kil'sorrow Fotress. Don't forget to pick up Armaments for Deception(http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9928) and run it while you do this quest(same quest giver).

Very easy quest, just kill mob and place banner. Why the quest here says " Shadow Council Credit Marker slain (20)" I don't know cuz it's not a part of the quest in game. Just ignore it.

Description

<Lantresor hands you a pack full of banners.> These are Warmaul ogre banners that I recently acquired. I want you to travel to Kil'sorrow Fortress, directly south of here, and kill as many of the Kil'sorrow filth as you can find. Drive a Warmaul ogre banner through the heart of each fallen Kil'sorrow soldier. Return to me when you have completed this task and the other that this plan requires.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Armaments for DeceptionNagrand · Level 15-30

    You will need to steal Kil'sorrow armaments from Kil'sorrow Fortress if my plan is to work. Search the fortress for crates of Kil'sorrow armaments. Bring whatever you can find to me. Kil'sorrow Fortress is located directly south and a little to the west of the Burning Blade Ruins.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Body of EvidenceNagrand · Level 15-30

    Your rampage through Kil'sorrow Fortress has provided us with a special opportunity. We have enough bodies to make it appear as if a great battle has taken place. Travel to the Laughing Skull Ruins and find the Laughing Skull Courtyard. There should be a blazing pyre in the courtyard.
