Well your not too far away from the topic, infact ill help you!
First of all, make a quest variable type, then whenever you create a quest, do actions Set - (questvariable) (Last created quest) so now you have your own quest that has the name with the quest type variable that you created. Let me explain further and give examples...

EXAMPLE:

First of all go to the variables panel (trigger section->edit->variables) add a variable that has the name "GoNorth" and its type to Quest.

Note: This is just an example name, you can freely make a name.

Events: Map Initialization
Actions: Quest - Create an optional Quest entitled "Go North"
Set - GoNorthQuest = (Last created quest)

In this situation the variable GoNorthQuest is set from the last created quest from above. Then for the QuestComplete Condition.

Events: Unit enters <region>
Action: Quest - Mark "GoNorthQuest" as completed.

As you can see the variable can be actually used, so you dont have to use tons of (Last created quest) functions.

Note: You can freely make a different event, this is just an example.

And I love to help n00bs so bring yer problems here at the forums.
