First!
In all seriousness, a pretty simple and straightforward quest. Just kill 8 Vile Familiars that are found directly north of the quest giver. On a different note, some of the quest text didn't appear for me when I looked at this quest in my log. It seems that I clicked on the quest giver and accepted too fast or something, but either way it went away when I abandoned the quest and got it again.

Bugged, you start with one familiar already checked as slain.
EDIT: Never mind, I logged in today and it was fine.

Description
I trust the Valley of Trials will teach you much, young {class}. I was sent to the Valley to guide you, but I have discovered a growing taint here... One of the Burning Blade - a foul, demon-worshipping cult - has made camp here in the Valley of Trials. He skulks in a cave to the north, and his vile familiars have spilled from its mouth to cause havoc. As your first task against the Burning Blade, I bid you, defeat these familiars. Slay many and, if you survive, return to me.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lazy Peons
Cursed peons! They work hard gathering lumber from the trees of the valley, but they're always taking naps! I need someone to help keep the peons in line. You look like the right <race> for my task. Here, you take this blackjack and use it on any lazy peons you find sleeping on the job.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Burning Blade Medallion
Through my divinations, I see that an item of power--a medallion--hides deep within the Burning Blade Coven, guarded by beasts and black magic. We must have it. For too long these demon-worshippers have defiled our homelands.
