For anyone who's read the novel Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War, which depicted the events preceding Mists of Pandaria, there is a possible cameo at the end of this quest in a cutscene where Jaina is surrounded by her dead allies. To her right in the second row is a gnome with pink hair who I think might be Kinndy Sparkshine, Jaina's friend and apprentice.
Don't forget to click on Jain when the character interaction with each child encounter ends.

Description
The Blighted Lands... If the legends are true then inside we will witness suffering and torment the likes of which we have never known. .. ...but if that is what I must endure to right what I have wronged, then I will cross that threshold gladly. Will you join me, {class}?

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Runic Resistance
Whatever is going on with this effigy, I don't think it's going to open the gateway without our help. These runes must be the key. There must be some way we can use them to activate the effigy.
