Turn this in back at East Point Tower.
And note that Rousch's monument is just south of Dun Garok. Nice spot to see if you didn't know about it.
An interesting quest as it shows the Forsaken, at least a few, haven't lost their sense of honour completely

What to do
Description
The spirits of my soldiers haunt this fort now, lad. Their souls are now bound to this place. Even in death they continue to fight for it. 'Tis sad. Put 'em out o' their misery and perhaps ye shall have the spoils of yer people's victory.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Haunting in Hillsbrad
The battle over Dun Garok was the bloodiest of all the Hillsbrad battles. The dwarves, outnumbered ten-to-one, fought until the bitter end. Every last one of 'em died in defense of that piece of land. Now I hear claims that the place is haunted. Nobody wants to go near it!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Extinction
Owlbeasts... Soulless, feathered monstrosities sent from the darkest depths of the Twisting Nether to prey upon the weak. <Nils points to the woods surrounding Eastpoint Tower.> They surround us on all sides and they are planning an attack - I can sense it.
