Then:
The Sand, the Cider, and the Orb

These two at once: Warlocks Have the Neatest Stuff and Shadow Boxing

Then:
Return to Keeshan
Chiselgrip, the Heart of the Steppes

Enables these quests, which must be completed before General Thor'izog in the main chain:
Prove Yer Allegiance
Scrapped Golems (leads to Golem Training)

Main chain continues:

with "You don't meet the requirements for that quest". Don't panic.

You must by this time have finished Stebben's quests, listed above.

I Am the Law and I am the Lash [I think this completing this one is optional]
When you accept the above, look for Abuse of Power in your quest log

Then:

Blackened Ashes
A Heap of Delicious Worg
Latent Demons of the Land

A Deal with a Dragon

Given when third one above is completed: Placing the Pawns

Description

I need you to do some more gathering before we can go take out the remainder of the Blackrock army. If we're going to do this, we're going to do it right, and that means being prepared. I need ash, {name}. Not just any ash... ash from the greater obsidian elementals that roam the plains to the northwest. The stuff is deep, deep black, which is what we need for our next disguise. Don't worry, you've already got a disguise. This one is for someone... well, someTHING... else.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Flame CrestBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Our work here in Chiselgrip is done, mostly thanks to you. We'll now be moving on to the northeast, to Flame Crest. Flame Crest is in the cliffs, past the Ruins of Thaurissan. It should serve as a sufficient base of operations for the final stages of our plan.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Latent Demons of the LandBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    The lava beds nearby - to the west - play host to flamekin, a brand of fire demon that has long roamed the steppes. Situations are such in the Blackrock army that, if we are careful, we may be able to sneak some of these flamekin behind enemy lines to cause some havoc.
