The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
As other commenters have noted - It seems A Favor for Melithar is intended as a breadcrumb quests for new players or people who don't notice Melithar is offering a quest nearby.
For quest completionists looking to scratch this off the list of addons like ATT, take 5 minutes and create a new Night Elf character in Shadowglen. Complete the initial quest of killing nightsabers to be offered Fel Moss Corruption. Accept the quest and make sure to abandon Demonic Thieves. Complete Fel Moss Corruption, then at turn in you'll be offered A Favor for Melithar as a breadcrumb to accepting the previously abandoned Demonic Thieves.
Finally the quest will be marked off your list and you can delete your new toon or continue leveling!
So then is there any way possible to get this quest if you do the thieves quest first?

Description
You should speak with Melithar. I believe he had some troubles with the grell already. I expect he can offer you a well needed place to store more of your goods should you aid him.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fel Moss Corruption
You seem to know what you're doing. Perhaps I can task you with something a little more important. As you may well know, the corruption in Teldrassil was supposedly wiped away. Yet something lingers. The creatures have not calmed and all manner of problems still plague us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Demonic Thieves
Vicious little grell! They've been stealing from our foodstores again. If you wouldn't mind lending a hand, they are sure to have my stolen bags within their camps to the west. I would be glad to reward you if you can bring them back to me.
