You can not have this quest and Your Presence is Required at Stars' Rest in your quest log at the same time, apparently. Couldn't pick it up until I dropped "Your Presence."
It is also unlikely that you can get the follow up to this quest (To Stars' Rest!) if you have Your Presence is Required in your quest log.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
