With the destruction of Theramore in 5.0.5, Aden can no longer be found where the quest marker points.
If you want to complete this quest you have to visit [npc=63546] who is just down the new bridge from Theramore. She will let you see Theramore as it was before the destruction... In other words you can complete Dustwallow Marsh Quests :D

Blizzard shows us Theramore as it would be lorewise, and yet Horde are still allowed in Dalaran... well that's very biased. Doesn't take much guessing what faction Blizzard favor
Very helpful. I was flying around for much longer than I would like to admit trying to figure out how to turn this quest in.

What to do
Description
Sifting through the loose dirt, the severed hand of an orc is found. And clutched in the hand is a bone-carved tube. And in the tube is a dirt-stained parchment. The parchment is written in orcish... and it looks important.
