This quest is the end of Missing Persons part, you have to wait next week to unlock next one. You have to jump in the boat and ride to Suramar city. So short quest chain this time, spent around 10 minutes to complite it. Hope, next will be longer.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
