Don't kill Thulsketha the Binder right away, go exactly on Nika, the little squirrel so the "Kivarr located" part is finished.
Really wish blizzard would stop designing quests like this where they put a tiny green arrow over a tiny, glowing blue squirrel who walks around in grass just to spam the same message over and over only to find out that you have to spend 10 minutes following it before you can move on with the quest. Quit wasting our game time blizzard, thanks.

Description
The Drust just took Kivarr away. They said they were going to sacrifice her in one of their rituals! If we hurry, you may still be able to save her! I've seen where the Drust keep their sacrificial altar... it's scary, but I can take you there! There's no time to waste! Follow me!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Thornspeaker Captive
Good to know the old bear hasn't forgotten me. Unfortunately, neither have the Drust. I was enjoying a peaceful afterlife before they showed up. Do not bother trying to force open this cage. You can only unlock it with three separate keys, and each one is held by a different Drust commander.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to the Den
There may be a way to break the curse and free your friend's mind, but it will require some work. Ulfar was wise to send you to me. He knew that a portion of Gorak Tul's power would be necessary, but the other reagents we need do not exist on Azeroth. My den is not far from here.
