What's a shame is that the village doesn't physically change after you complete this quest, despite the ability to do so with phasing in Wrath.

After completing the initial death knight questline, I expected to return to Taunka'le Village and see it abandoned.

Description

We are lost, {name}. This place has been our home for many generations, but it is no longer safe. There remains only death... Death and a memory of what used to be. I have called for the evacuation of Taunka'le. All remaining taunka must leave at once and make their way to our capital city, Icemist, located in the Dragonblight. <Wintergale points east.> You must help get my people to safety, {name}. Mother Tauranook awaits you at the village gates. Hurry! The Scourge closes in from all sides!

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.
