If you follow the Initiates that try to flee, you see how they are slaughtered by Madam Shadow' minions. Love that detail x'D
This quest name is more than likely named after the Ray Bradbury Book, "Something Wicked This Way Comes".

Description
Phineas did well in bringing you to me, {name}. There is much work to be done. We'd best get to it! As a master of the dark arts, I need you to help me whip these newcomers into shape. Talk to them. They come from many walks of life--all of them unfamiliar with the dark arts. Learn their wishes. Their hopes. Their dreams. This path we walk can bestow gifts unending and power unimaginable. One just needs to know what one truly desires...
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.

- Beginning Impositions
Darkest greetings, <race>. Ahem, yes. Yes! Darkest greetings indeed. <The lanky man seems to suddenly remember where he is.> On behalf of my patron, I bid you travel to the Darkmoon Faire. The Faire! Who doesn't love it? Yes. Yes! Ahem. She requires your presence, she does!

Ah, the latest group have gathered beneath my wings like chicks to a mother crow. You've done well so far, <name>. They trust you. I trust you. The next step in shepherding these simple souls along in their diabolical journeys is to safeguard them against the void. Against oblivion. Against death.
