why yes, yes I am in fact from the future... I would tell you things but for fear they may or may not come to pass through such interference I say nothing you know how it is, don't you? ;)
If you are doing this questline, even though it has changed a bit from its original version, its still one of the most powerful stories in WoW. Here is a video of a song Cranius made about the quest-line (this is not my song or video, this is not another one of those posts trying to boost someone's youtube hit count) - Its really well done and every wow player owes it to themselves to watch it :) It really makes me long for my days in Vanilla WoW.

Description
That sword belonged to Joseph Redpath, Pamela's father - though you probably already knew that. I wish Joseph could again be with his daughter, but it cannot be so. His soul was twisted by the Scourge, and he became a monster. Pamela's fate is sealed, but perhaps we can change Joseph's fate. A strange gnome arrived here at this tower not long ago. Her name is Chromie. Take that sword to her. I have a feeling she will be able to help us.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Uncle Carlin
I'm going to play with dolly, but I don't want to play with daddy's sword after all. You'd better keep it. Even better, can you give it to my uncle Carlin? I'm not sure where he is, but sometimes I hear him crying. It sounds like he's nearby, to the north. I hope he's not crying for me!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Villains of Darrowshire
The Annals of Darrowshire tells of the villains of that battle. It tells how the ghoul lord Horgus the Ravager was destroyed by Alliance forces during the battle. He was slain among the foothills north of here, and his skull remains there.
