TheWoWDBAfter a considerable amount of running back and forth and up and down, distracted by drums and drum thieves and frightened young moose steeds, I finally used a clue from another version of this quest and found Spiritwalker Ebonhorn.
Go UP one of the lifts and locate the southernmost bridge. It leads to a small cluster of buildings, including the leatherworking trainer. Go PAST these buildings and slightly to the left to reach the Path of Huln, and the Spiritwalker is waiting right there with Mayla, just out of line of sight until you're right there.

During remix once you kill the 25 demons > exit vehicle > fly out of Thunder Totem to turn in this quest
Am I the only one who doesn't know where to hand in this quest ? Any help would be much appreciated.

Description
Mayla's father, Ulan, was our last high chieftain. He was slain trying to stop the Underking from seizing the Hammer of Khaz'goroth. I have watched Mayla all her life and can tell you she has both the courage and the strength to wear the mantle of High Chieftain. She needs only our help to realize it herself. Will you meet us at the city entrance along the southern bluff? There is a ritual that might help, but we will need your aid to survive it.
