Not clear by above posts, but you need to fly/run around that area until it tells you that you've "Explored" it. After that, fire your gun.

Pro-tip for anyone who's as dumb as me - the flare gun doesn't have the glowing border like quest items, so it gets lost in a sea of junk easily 馃檭

What to do
Description
Word has come from my wind riders, {name}. The Eclipsion blood elves are planning something big. They have begun forming their armies at the Path of Conquest, far to the southeast - adjacent to Eclipse Point. I want you to travel to the Path of Conquest and assess the situation. Once you have done so, use this flare gun to signal a wind rider. One will swoop down from the sky to meet you. Inform them of what you have discovered and they will give you your next set of orders.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Felspine the Greater
Gnomus knows about the massive diemetradon and plans to eat it! He must have been able to see what I could see through the eyes of his arcano-scorp. Look, there's no time to explain. He's crazy and that craziness is going to cost us the closest thing we've got to a fireproof jumpsuit.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Breaching the Path
We're going to need more time, <race>. I'm going to fly further ahead with some of the other wind riders. Hopefully, we can gather some more information. What I need from you now is to clear a path and more importantly, keep their arrows pointed away from us!
