Description

The winds of change are blowing, <race>. Of that there can be no doubt.

There are many pressing issues vying for our attention and action. Chief among them is the spreading of our growing oasis.

Its growth has surpassed our hopes as well as our understanding, yet now it faces opposition.

To the west, where the grass meets the sand, whirlwinds prevent its penetration into the desert.

Go and eliminate this hostile obstacle to life!

For those wondering, the marking on the ingame map is wrong.
Check the west end of Cenarion Wildlands.

Do what he says. Go due west to where the grass meets the sand.

The in-game map should them in 2 different places and different times believe it or not and neither of them were correct.
They are located starting at 46, 44.8
If you go up the hill there on top is all the Whirlwind Stormwalkers you could want.
Enjoy!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Official AssessmentDesolace · Level 10-30
You have accomplished much in your efforts against the naga, <name>. But I fear it is not nearly enough.... This is my official assessment of the naga presence. I'm confident that my peers in the wildlands will take the necessary action.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Blood TheoryDesolace · Level 10-30
The land is not all that has changed in Desolace. Here, the wildlife has responded to their new environment in strange and sometimes exciting ways. I am particularly interested in the Rejuvenated Thunder Lizards that roam just to the west. I need a sample of their blood.
