TheWoWDBI could not get this quest and the follow up and searched and searched until I realised that you can only get this quest if you chose to create the arcane building.

Couldn't figure out how to change outposts as Foreman Eksos didn't give me anything. I figured out you need to finish the rest of the main quests in Talador first. I used btWQuests Draenor to track what Im missing and show where to pick up the missing quests. Once you've finished all other Talador quests go back to Eksos and he'll give you an option to pay 5k gold for buildings. The drafting table will appear next to him on the ground in the building entrance. Choose the arcane building and this quest will become available.
Thanks for this; took me ages to figure out! :D

Description
I'm pleased to report that your Arcane Sanctum is up and running, commander! Everything is exactly as the blueprint says... except for this note Baros scrawled on the bottom. "Don't forget to connect the sanctum to the ley line network!" Commander, I'm a foreman, not a mage. I... have absolutely no idea how to do that. We've found Archmage Khadgar and some other Kirin Tor not far from here. To the east, near the mountains. Perhaps we should ask them for a hand?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Only Way to Travel
Call me cautious but I kept a few flares just in case we needed to quickly escape. I'm glad that wasn't needed but we could still use the ride back to the artillery tower. Are you ready sir?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Making Acquaintances
It's nice to see someone else taking a vested interest in the arcane arts, you know. It's all too rare these days if you ask me. Unfortunately, I must meet Cordana to handle an important matter, but we're in luck!
