This is the first quest of quest chain to recruit new [class=8] follower - [champion=994].
Before you can pick up this questline, you have to pick up Champions of Legionfall from [npc=116576] on the Broken Shore.
Chain starts from An Urgent Situation in Hall of the Guardian when you arrive.

You have to find and speak with Meryl, he stands where he usually is.

I could not for the life of me figure out where I was in this quest chain. I had completed all of the prerequisites and Aethas was standing in my Order Hall, but there was nothing to point me anywhere. I checked the Broken Isles, looked for quests in my Order Hall, nada. Finally, after scratching my head for a few days, I downloaded Quest Completist on Curse, used it to query the server and find out which quests I had done, and went through the quest chain one by one. What I found was that for some silly reason (who knows why, really, it was months and months ago) I had not picked up Retaliation! on my mage. I flew out to Suramar, found the NPC, grabbed the quests and was good to go.

So, if you end up stuck like I did, check to see if you've picked up Retaliation!

Second, if that's not it and you have done everything required to start the chain, go grab Quest Completist. It's worth the download.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Backup PlanLevel 45

    Dalaran may appear to be just a floating city, but it is actually our most powerful magical weapon. It will take time to repair the arcane defenses - time the Legion will use to their great advantage. It is imperative to come up with an interim plan, and quickly!
