You ought to speak to Genn. He's been locked up in his observatory ever since this ordeal started.
I'm sure he's working on a plan for his people. He's a very stubborn individual.

To find greymane, go up the stairs behind Queen Mia turn left and go outside (right as you get up), you'll see the observatory as you get out. Greymane is at the top.
Note: Contrary to the info above, this quest has nothing to with Gilneas City.
The mansion is like the most beautiful house in all of Azeroth. Even though it would cost a considerable amount of money it would be cool if someone was able to build a place like Greymane Manor.

It's time for everyone to head to safety. That includes you, <name>. Head to Greymane Manor, the others will be there shortly. Don't worry about me, I'll make sure that everyone makes it out of here in one piece. Yes, even the few ferals we have in the pens.
