Just a heads up.
Apparently Thrall still hasn't upgraded from level 20 riding skill so this is kinda slow, you HAVE to stick within a certain (short) distance of Thrall or the quest will reset.

You'd think by now Thrall would have the money to purchase some better Riding skills...
Ohh right, he got married didn't he? I always wondered why he couldn't afford new clothes or better Riding.
For those of you who accidentally abandoned this quest because you didn't have time to do the escort like me, to pick it back up, talk to Thrall in Durotar with coordinates 44.6, 66.7, in the Valley of Trials.

Description
This hearthstone was part of a conversation Vol'jin and I shared a long time ago. He believes his people are in danger. I don't know what all has transpired in my absence, but I can at least do this for my friend. Come, {name}, travel with me to the Echo Isles. We must make sure that the Darkspear are safe.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Find Thrall!
<Vol'jin half opens an eye and begins to move his lips as if to speak. Though no sound comes, you decipher two words.> Find Thrall. <With an effort, Vol'jin thrusts a hearthstone into your hands and then passes out.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- De-Subjugation
The Kor'kron have been trained to be the finest, most loyal soldiers of the Warchief. Their presence here means that Garrosh fears an uprising. Vol'jin and his people are as much a part of the Horde as any orc. We must break this occupation and free the trolls.
