A 3 part quest turn-in problem.
When I tried doing these quests one time, the turn-in icons on the map are deceiving. The icons arn't quite where the NPC for turn-in really are.
The quests in question are:
A Charming Deception.
Echo Hunter.
Syth's Secret.For those of you that are having trouble turning these quests in, the coordinates for the completion NPC are at 48:44.
Thank you! These coordinates really helped. To be more specific, as you are traveling south down the road, there is an area off to the left (east) side with a sort of warren hole in the Undergrowth (similar to the ones from Pandaria). It is surrounded by some mobs. It is just a bit north of the Terrokar Wayshrine.

Description
Our deceased friend here was hiding more than a love of old scrolls and erotic sorcery-fiction. He had something truly valuable. If I'm reading his notes correctly, he claims to have found the Eye of Anzu - Terokk's scrying orb from the days after his fall. We need that orb! The notes say he stashed it in a ravager den just up the road.

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.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- All Due Respect
A group of Adherents came 'round just before the attack on Skettis. Disguised myself as a mushroom, I did. The fools walked right past me. My neighbor up the road was not so lucky. He had a fondness for texts, if I recall.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Gathering of Shadows
Veil Terokk is just ahead. Let us hope the others have made the journey safely.
