Did this quest go live? I didn't interact with Nathanos at ALL during this questline.
I'm so thrilled I'll never have to listen to Saurfang's whining again.

What to do
Description
Now that we have put our house in order, it is time to purge the filth before our gates. How thoughtful of those traitors to gather themselves in one place, so that we may slay them all in one fell swoop. Let us end this pitiful rebellion.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Militia
The war has proven costly and our ranks have been steadily depleted. But the Horde is nothing if not strong. Each and every citizen of Orgrimmar is worth ten Alliance weaklings on the battlefield. Rally the citizens and form a militia! Remind them of their slain brothers and sisters!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Most Loyal
The Dark Lady anticipated this as a possible outcome. She has prepared a contingency plan to deal with it accordingly. You are to rendezvous with her in the Ghostlands. Take this hearthstone. It is good for one more use. She will meet you near Windrunner Spire.
