On my Lock:
Fools!
This Draaka woman has allowed herself to be manipulated by a demon!
<Garrosh studies you for a moment.>
And I smell its taint on you as well, warlock....Really Garrosh? You sense demon taint on a warlock. Nothing escapes you does it.

I don't know... I think Coldblooded is right. When I did this on my rogue she said, "Please, Kurtćobain, go ahead of me and present this letter to Garrosh."
To be able to start this quest, you must first complete all of the Mor'shan Front quests which lead you to the Warsong Lumber Camp quests which you must also complete, which take you to Splintertree Post.
The chain quest that Draaka/Durak gives you is the one that allows you to take this quest.

What to do
Description
This could be the end of me... Perhaps my actions were not thought out as well as they should have been... The good news is that we pushed back an attack that would have otherwise meant the end of Splintertree. Let us pray that Saurfang sees it that way. I am certain to be summoned to Orgrimmar to explain my actions. Please, {name}, go ahead of me and present this letter to his advisor Eitrigg. Do what you can to soften his heart towards me.
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.
- Rain of Destruction
Just in time, <class>. The elves have launched another attack! From the guard towers, use the accursed ore to mark targets for Draaka. Her projectiles will strike your target and erupt in fel magic flame, destroying any nearby enemies. There is strong prejudice against the use of demonic magics.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dread Head Redemption
I sense that Durak is more than he seems. Demonic power is dangerous and it is easy to fall to its corruption - even for a trained warlock. I do not trust him, <name>. Find this Durak and tell him that the Horde will have nothing to do with him.
