1. Make sure you pick up the black shield above the chimney and the *tiny* medallion on the wooden planks to start all three quests here.

2. All three quests are unfinished and their chains end at weird moments. This one ends after this quest, even though the quest finisher makes it seem like theres more. (Karago will head to the inn, but won't offer a new quest if you follow him, nor will Krog).

This questchain may be continued in patch 2.3, were Dustwallow Marsh will be reworked. Blizzard promised that unfinished quest chains in Azeroth will be finished.

The Shady Rest Inn quest chain can start either at the Inn itself, from the objects, or from Brackenwall Village (37.6,31.7), Dustwallow Marsh.
If the player chooses to start the quest chain in Brackenwall, Krog (36,31) will give the following quest:

Inspecting the Ruins

This quest completes at Inspector Tarem (29.6,47.5), located just outside of the inn, who will then use powder to help 'illuminate' the "clues." This basically causes purple arrows to appear, pointing at the individual quest objects strewn about the destroyed inn. Obtaining and completing this quest is not necessary, as the quest chains can be started directly from the objects regardless.

From the Shady Rest Inn (29.4,47.5), the quest branches into three paths, each starting when a different item gets looted.
The first quest for each chain will have you bring the three items to Krog in Brackenwall Village.

Loot the Black Shield (29.6,48.6):

Loot the Suspicious Hoofprints (29.7,47.7):

Suspicious Hoofprints ← You are here!

Loot the Theramore Guard Badge (29.8,48.2):

After completing all three quest chains, Krog will offer a fifth The Black Shield quest, asking players to bring the Blackened Iron Shield to Mosarn (55.6,79.6) in Thunder Bluff.

Mosarn will then volunteer new information regarding the "mystery" and starts the following short chain:

When these three quests have been completed, Krog will direct you to Tabetha (46.0,57.1) for further progression and conclusion:
