You turn this quest in at Durotan, who indeed is inside Bladespire Citadel. At first I didn't think you could get past the barricade at the entrance, but you can just run around to the right of it.

A fwe facts about the quest:
- You MUST be the first to hit the ogre. The killing blow doesnt matter
- You dont need to focus the corpse just click the item being near, if it doesnt work, you probably didnt land the first blow.
- You can do this while on raid or group
- Think of this somewhat like the rules of killing frogs on Timeless Island for farming lesser charms
Have fun and enjoy the well-made Blizzard quests! :-)
This quest is literaly uncompletable. I tag the mob, kill it, I'm even able to loot it yet when I try to use the banner it either gives me "too far away" or "you need a valid target" while targeting the corpse AND standing in it.

What to do
Description
Bladespire has been a plague on my people for many years. That ends today! Now to explain it to the ogres in a way they will understand. If you still wish to help us, place our banner in the corpses of our adversaries. Their courage will falter as they behold a field of Frostwolf trophies! This is our way. I will meet with you ahead when you have completed this deed.

In his haste, Ga'nar advanced before this area was secured. He is a matchless warrior, mind you, but his tactics are sometimes costly. Gol'kosh and his troops were ordered to destroy enemy supplies, but ogres have stolen the oil he needs.
