Both Renloe and Barrezin refuse to give the quests.
Since both of these NPCs are in PoK, I assumed the OP is having trouble getting the quests from them thus my advise to try the ones in Crescent Reach instead.
Gear is close to the same but you're more likely to find new players in Crescent Reach, if help is needed, than some of the older zones. At least that's been my experience.
