Alongside the bridge you cross as you come into Falconwing Square. I found the 6 that I gathered at 45,43; 46,42; 45,41; 44,40; 44,38; 43,37.
Take this quest along with
Major Malfunction - http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8472
and
Wanted: Thaelis the Hungerer - http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8468If you start out on the road at around 44, 45 and follow that north you can pick up the amount of Mana Crystals required for Unstable Mana Crystals and kill the Arcane Patrollers along the way for the Major Malfunction quest. The road will bring you under the bridge and right up too the side door of the house at 45, 38 where Thaelis is located. You will have to kill maybe two Urchins outside, and one inside and then you can pull Thaelis by himself. Turn around and take the same road back the way you came in.
One trip and you should have 3 quests complete.

What to do
StorylineEversong Woods, step 2 of 35
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
A group of Wretched recently raided a supply of unstable mana crystals from one of our arcane sanctums. If not handled properly, the crystals could explode with enough force to blow a hole into the city walls. Now, {name}, I don't quite care if they blow themselves up while tapping unstable arcane sources, but the whole incident would make my men look bad. Bring me back any remaining stolen crystals you find; they might still be inside their original crates.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- WANTED: Thaelis the Hungerer
The city of Silvermoon hereby issues a reward for the head of Thaelis the Hungerer, notorious Wretched ringleader. He is wanted for repeated crimes against the general populace of Silvermoon City, including the murder of two city guards. Report to Sergeant Kan'ren to collect the reward.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Darnassian Intrusions
Besides the constant threat that the Wretched represent, I also have to deal with all kind of fictitious reports of night elf sightings. Though most reports are unfounded, one recent incident demands further investigation.
