On a side note: I got Thousand Needles Quests while just going for the end quest by doing all it's pre-requisit quests and some side quests that were in the same area. (Also did a chain started with Special Delivery for Brivelthwerp but afaik this is not needed.)

Note: 07/11/2011, changed the 1st sentence, it was originally "An overview of all the quests needed to get there:" to avoid some confusion as to what this post is all about.

After finishing this quest chain, I'm really hoping that we'll personally get to play a part in Magatha's presumably inevitable downfall, rather then it simply being an event that takes place in a future novel or something similar.

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.
