East of your Garrison, down into the Ravine; cave entrance is at 56, 62. While it may look like there are no mobs, they are stealthed and will attack as you get closer to Olin.
My first thought: Star Wars.

Description
Commander, I have bad news. Olin Umberhide, the tauren who escaped with you from Tanaan, was ambushed when near the eastern perimeter of the Garrison. He was seen being dragged off by the pale. These are dangerous, disturbing creatures that some believe were once orcs. Now they are husks of barely living flesh bent by dark magics. Olin is resourceful, but outnumbered. I would advise travelling east to effect a rescue as soon as possible, before they eat him alive... slowly.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- We Need An Army
So the new warchief decided to send you Warmaster Zog to handle local operations. Zog! I heard that guy was notorious for organizing the Alliance AND the Horde to face off against the silithid at the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. He was a general back then.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mission Probable
Despite his recent captures, Olin Umberhide seems to be a tauren of some skill in combat. He certainly has learned how to get an enemy's attention. I have a mission available that might prove ideal for his skill sets.
