Thank you! I was so confused.
There was a hut in this instanced version of Darkshore where I could claim my alchemy work order from my Draenor garrison. Weird!

Description
Darkshore has never been known for being bright and sunny, but something strange has happened here. A black moon hangs over everything. None of the scouts I sent into the forest have returned. The night elves are up to something. And I need to know what it is. Their rank-and-file won't have the information we seek. Hunt down their lieutenants and get them to talk by any means necessary.
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.
- Trouble in Darkshore
We have received some disturbing reports from Darkshore. What was once a secure stronghold for the Horde is now beset by an unnatural darkness. The moon has turned completely black. The outposts there have yet to be reinforced with our main force and we are suddenly outnumbered.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dark Ranger Round-Up
These night elf ambushes have left us undermanned. We need reinforcements if we are to hold Darkshore. Brynja, one of the Dark Lady's val'kyr, can provide us with those reinforcements. Slay the night elves and command her to raise them into our service. Should any prove unwilling... deal with them.
