TheWoWDBYrel's gossip text when you meet her in Frostfire Ridge:
A-a-a-about t-time, Iraya. I-it's f-freezing out here. No wonder we draenei s-s-settled in warmer areas.Apparently getting moving warms her up considerably:
Yrel says: Are you ready, hero? It is just up this way.
Yrel says: Steel yourself. This is not the lair of an ordinary beast.
Yrel says: Come, fury! My courage shall not falter before you![Upon Everburn's defeat.]
Yrel says: Well done, champion! Akama's task is finished. I cannot wait to see his face when we report on our success.

There is a small tunnel on the left side of the debris at Thunder Pass, which you can fit through!
For some reason I was getting some serious Final Fantasy 8 Ifrit vibes off this part.

Description
An Exarch must be a pillar of strength, and no greater strength is there than the courage to face danger. Far to the northwest, among the snowy crags of Frostfire Ridge, lives a primal fury named Everburn. Only when you face one of these creatures eye to eye, will you know the extent of your courage.
