A World of Warcraft quest in Desolace. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Note that as a higher-level player with your own mount, you can trigger all four of Korrah's quotes by following the quest's flight path, but you cannot complete the quest unless you ride Korrah's hippogryph.
This has to rank up there as one of the most boring quests Blizzard ever made. Take the time to afk, use the bathroom, have a smoke, surf the net, and maybe when you remember to tab back to WoW....it'll be done.

Description
I am all that remains of my company, sent to monitor the many changes on this coast of Desolace. I have reported of the dramatic increase of naga here, but to no effect. My peers are focused on other crises, so I must ask you, a stranger, to assist me in my research. First, though, allow me to show you the threat we face.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rider on the Storm
You cannot help but to feel a twinge of pride, having unlocked this long lost secret of the ancient worshippers of Elune. You now possess the power to inflict great damage upon your enemy.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Slitherblade Slaughter
Time and again, the naga have proven to be enemies to the balance of nature. I have no qualms with the spilling of their blood. Your best efforts though, would barely put a dent in their forces here. Where one falls, two seem to rise in their place. I have a plan, <class>.
