Ando Blastenheimer is one of the very, very few fairly non-comedic gnomes in the game.
Careful when going near the Landshaper, there are several cultists near it including the possibility of the rare spawn Geoshaper Maren.

I keep destroying the landshaper and I don't get credit f destroying it. Glitch?
I'm thinking it looks like the Battleship machines from the movie but the movie came out way after the release. What with it being the 'Landshaper' or a Destroyer of land

What to do
Description
Look at them. The Twilight's Hammer ruined this land! That cult caused this Cataclysm, and broke the Stonewrought Dam, and drained the entire Loch. And now they wander around the ruins like it's their home! If there was any justice in this world, someone would march into their camp and break that artifact of theirs in half. But I'm too weak to even try it. And nobody else is brave enough either! Not even you! You see? It's all so stupid...

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.
- He's That Age
I'm not making the Skystrider for me, <name>. Not even for gnomekind. I want my son to be the one to fly it. I'm old, and my reflexes aren't what they used to be. But my boy Ando could be the best pilot Azeroth's ever seen, if he'd just get over his teenage moodiness!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fight the Hammer
You've done what I thought was impossible! I'm done moping around here. It's time to gnome up. I've got to find my father. But you! Don't bother yourself with me any longer. You've got to keep fighting these cultists. Go talk to Ashlan Stonesmirk to the east.
