TheWoWDBNote that the quest text refers to "Sentinel Amara Nightwalker", which is different from the questgiver's name, Moon Priestess Amara. Odd...

If you plan to be an Herbalist I'd recommend getting it before doing this quest. There is plenty of Silverleaf amongst the Gnarlpines, which is fairly common elsewhere, but there is also Earthroot on top of boulders around them, which I haven't found to be as common. Bring some empty vials and when you find the herbs you can buff yourself with Elixer of Minor Defense (adds 50 armor for 1 hour) and Elixer of Lion's Strength (increases strength by 4 for 1 hour.) Not that you'll necessarily need them, but if you're lower level, they might be nice to have.
Hence the name of the quest... ;)

Description
The road to Darnassus must be kept safe. Corrupted furbolgs from the Gnarlpine tribe have been attacking travelers relentlessly. Important news and commerce travels to and from Darnassus by way of this road daily. We cannot afford to have a rogue band of heathens terrorizing people. Take up arms in the name of the sacred forest, {class}. Their den lies up this northern path. Slay these Gnarlpine ambushers and report back to me.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nature's Reprisal
I'm glad you were willing to atone for your mistake - it speaks a great deal about your character. I have another task for you. I have gathered some ireroot seeds. They are somewhat like fel cones, but quite a bit more potent.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Denalan's Earth
Are you heading to the south? To Lake Al'Ameth? If so, then I have a task I might ask of you... My colleague Denalan has a camp along the eastern end of the lake, where he is studying and experimenting on the plant life of Teldrassil.
