This quest chain opens your level 2 garrison.
This can all be completed at level 90 (but you will probably hit 91 along the chain from quest/kill xp).Once you have the level 1 garrison, the quest chain continues at:
A Hero's Welcome
=> Closing the Door + Dark Enemies + Think of the Children!
=> Shadows Awaken
=> Into Twilight
=> The Clarity Elixir
=> The Fate of Karabor (Solo Scenario)
=> Going Undercover
=> Escape from Shaz'gul
=> Fast Expansion (sends you back to Garrison)
=> Bigger is Better (need 200 Garrison resources to upgrade)
Arianna is located at 52,32 (Shadowmoon Valley). There are buckets of water near a fountain just outside her hut, you'll have to click a bucket and douse three flames in her hut to release her pet Squiggy! This wasn't easy to figure out early in the expansion due to lag!

When the Shadowmoon attacked Arbor Glen, everything was thrown into chaos. Many of us escaped, but there are still three children missing. I believe they are still back in the village. Please save them!

- A Hero's Welcome
Prophet Velen has asked me to show you around Shadowmoon Valley. We will go first to Embaari Village, where my sister Samaara is waiting for us. I have not seen her since the Iron Horde took me to Tanaan. The village is just one of many trading villages between the Temple of Karabor and Shattrath.
