At some point in development Blizzard decided, that trolls and orcs leaving Valley of Trials should immediately progress to Sen'Jin Village, instead of visiting Razor Hill, first. It impacted one chain in general, which needs to be returned back to 0.5.3 state.
Reasoning
Firstly, [Report to Sen'Jin Village] quest shouldn't exist, in Alpha, but its ID after change will be used to bring back a removed quest (which had this ID), while simultaneously making [Report to Orgnil] quest's ID correct, It seems that it's the lowest amount of effort to make those things Alphalike

Quest Details
Your trials against the Burning Blade are finished...here in the Valley. But I want you to report your findings.
Go to the town Razor Hill and seek out Orgnil Soulscar. Razor Hill is east out of the valley, then north along the dry riverbed.
We must tell Orgnil of the Burning Blade, and that they have reached as far as the Valley of Trials.
Go, < name >, and be swift. I fear the evil found in the Burning Blade Coven is but the herald of a larger threat...
The completion part of the text is not known, but there is a strong likelyhood it hasn't changed as it is only a short reaction to our Burning Blade invesigation. It fits

Quest Characteristics
News regarding the Burning Blade has me troubled. And I have reports from our troll allies at Sen'jin Village that other evils may be brewing in our lands. We must stamp these out! Our people did not endure and defeat the demon's curse to let it infect our new home!
I will investigate the Burning Blade. You go to Sen'jin Village to the south and speak with Gadrin. He will tell you of their troubles.
Help the trolls, then return to me.

Progression
Just to be clear I'm going to write the quest progression of this chain in 1.12.1 (what we have now) and how it should be in 0.5.3
1.12.1
[Vile Familiars] (ID 792) -> [Burning Blade Medalion] (ID 794) -> Take [Report to Sen'Jin Village] (ID 805) -> move to Sen'Jin -> take [Report to Orgnil] (ID 823) -> move to Razor Hill -> finish [Report to Orgnil]
How it should be in 0.5.3
[Vile Familiars] (ID 792) -> [Burning Blade Medalion] (ID 794) -> Take [Report to Orgnil] (with ID changed to 805) -> move to Razor Hill -> take [Master Gadrin] (ID changed to 823) -> **move to Sen'Jin) -> finish [Master Gadrin]
