Your World Map, and New Quest: "Ending the Invasion!"
_
Marshal McBride gives you new orders with the Quest, "Ending the
Invasion!" He has identified the leader of the Blackrock Orc invasion
force, Kurtok the Slayer. Your new mission is to find Kurtok and kill him in
order to stop the invasion and save Northshire
Valley. Once you accept
this Quest, you'll notice that an indicator arrow is visible in your Minimap to point
you in Kurtok's direction, but you also have means of
getting a more detailed look at his location. Press the "M" key to open your World Map screen.
_
You'll see that a map of your immediate area (Northshire) dominates this
window. Along the right side of the screen is a list of your current active
Quests that take place in this Zone, and a description of the Quest you have
highlighted appears at the bottom of the screen when you click on the Quest name. When you look at the area Map,
you'll see that there is a Quest Objective indicator (a yellow circle marked
with the number "1") to the northeast of your current position (the
gray arrow). This indicator marks Kurtok's location.
Before you run off to kill Kurtok, let's take a look at the other levels of your World Map. To do so, simply hold your mouse cursor inside the Map, and right-click. You should now see this:

This is the Zone Map of Elwynn Forest, the Human starting zone. Right click on your Map again.

This is the Continent Map of the Eastern
Kingdoms, one of WoW's
two original continents, and one of several continents you'll explore in the
course of playing the game. If you hold your mouse cursor over each Zone on the
map, you can see its name as well as the approximate Experience range it is
appropriate for adventuring in. You can also see a map of each Zone by
left-clicking on it, but you won't see anything at this point, because you
haven't been to any other Zone yet to uncover its Map. Now, right-click on the
Continent Map to see the World Map.
_
Here, you can see the Eastern Kingdoms,
as well as Kalimdor (the other original continent of WoW), Northrend (the continent added in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion), the Maelstrom (a region added in the Cataclysm
expansion), and Pandaria (the long-lost continent added in the Mists of Pandaria expansion). If you right-click on the Map screen one more time, you can see
what could be called the "planetary view," because it allows you to
select a map view of one of three worlds: Azeroth; Outland, which is the shattered present-day remnant of the Orc homeworld Draenor, added in the expansion The Burning Crusade; and an intact, alternate-timeline version of Draenor from the past (long story), which was added in the expansion Warlords of Draenor.

When you're done checking out the World Map
screens, hit "ESC" or "M" on your keyboard to return to the
game. Equip the cloak you got from Milly if you haven't already, and then head northeast to deal with Kurtok the Slayer!
You'll have to cross the river, and fight any Blackrock Invaders that are in
your way. As you get closer to Kurtok's location, you'll notice that he's
highlighted on the Minimap with a gold dot. You'll find Kurtok standing
next to a large red Blackrock Orc banner.
_ After you make sure that the immediate area is cleared of any
Blackrock Invaders who could get in the way, attack Kurtok. He's tougher than
the other Orcs you've fought so far, but if you're careful, and you make sure
to use the Heroic Strike ability whenever you can, you should be able to defeat him
fairly quickly. Once you do, head back to Marshal McBride to report your
success! When you turn this quest in, you should advance to Level 5 if you haven't already. Upon reaching Level 5, you will learn the Victory Rush ability (each time you defeat an enemy, it grants you a bonus attack that also heals you slightly).
Your reward for completing this quest will be the Militia Warhammer, your first new weapon!
