Funnily enough, if you play a blood elf hunter through the zone, instead of lamenting that he's been assigned such an inexperienced ranger, his dialogue is more about taking you under his wing to teach you the ways of the farstriders (the belf ranger corps)

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.
