Quest
Assisting the Consortium
A World of Warcraft quest in Netherstorm. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

If you just complete You're Hired! (no need to continue with the chain at this stage), this breadcrumb quest will appear.
The common problem of being unable to take this quest line is that since one of the questgivers also offers a repeatable turn-in, the quest is not visible as an exclamation mark above his head or on minimap.
What you need to do is simply go and talk with an ethereal with a blue question mark above his head and you will see the next quest.

What to do
Description
The naaru of Shattrath City have been trying to find a means to bring the Consortium over to their way of seeing things. Luck would have it that the business relationship between the ethereals and the blood elves of the Netherstorm has recently soured. There's a Consortium representative in town named Nether-Stalker Khay'ji who recently ran into trouble with a pack of renegade ethereals. As a representative of the Scryers, I would like for you to help him in any way that you can.
