This is an example of a good, perhaps great, side quest chain. It's well written, emotional, and potentially relatable -- it certainly was for me. Do yourself a favor and complete these quests, and please do read the text.

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.
