Lunar Festival: Coins of Ancestry

[Natalya]

The Lunar Festival is upon us. Yay! This means you can run around the world collecting coins for crappy rewards. The good news is, that for each coin retrieved, you gain 50 (55 if you're human) rep for all the 4 alliance factions. What's even better, is that 'yours truly' already did most of the legwork for you. I spent the last 5 or so hours gathering info about the whereabouts of the elders who you need to visit in order to recieve these coins of ancestry. The ones marked as 'unconfirmed' are elders I haven't visited yet. Their locations however, are provided by the other helpful elders, thus more than likely, fairly accurate. Without further ado, I bring you the list of Lunar Festival Elders:

Opposing faction ones are reachable - Galatea saw an Orc getting on in Stormwind, and a NE hunter friend of mine got the one from Ogrimar ....
