What is the quest route through Burning Steppes (Alliance)?

The Burning Steppes (Alliance) route is partial: the Classic data leaves only 5 quests to turn in for the Alliance here, so it does not fill the zone's levels. Follow its 57 steps for what it gives, then level in the next zones below. Quests players record in WoW Forever will complete it, zone by zone, as soon as they share them.

Still missing

Classic base (cMaNGOS classic-db), to be confirmed in game: 71 quests. Missing: Forever's new or changed quests (the beta's game files hold no quest titles or objectives), French quest and creature names, Forever's own XP values; places are spawn points of Classic. New subzone Poacher's Den; the zone borders Riverglades (new).
