TheWoWDBPlease note that one of the three missions(Last Chance) requires Hymdall to take part and by this time you already have two inactive Champions which might be him. I suggest you do not activate and deactivate champions during this quest so you can activate whoever you might need.

Unfortunately this is going to roadblock a lot of warriors looking to complete their Class Order Hall. Three
2 day1 day missions (assuming you counter them) that must be completed in sequence. By the time this mission is even available, other classes have acquired their third artifact slot, yet warriors will be waiting another minimumfivetwo and a half days.Edit: Rejoice! The mission times have been halved, though warriors still finish their order hall campaign slowest out of all classes. Cutting out 3 days of mission time is still quite welcome to Warriors who have yet to complete these.
So, I'm completing this in 2021 in Shadowlands 9.1 to get the Battle Lord title - so I'm having to fumble my way around to get it all working...
Firstly, to get to the Capturing the Gateway quest it would appear that you HAVE to complete Demonic Runes and Will of the Valarjar naturally being level 60 and 239ilvl they took next to no time at all. Once you have done that you need to complete Black Rook Hold: Greater Power Black Rook Hold: Greater Power. This bugged out for me a few times but I will place a comment on that quest with how I went around fixing it.
The timings for the missions have been drastically reduced
[mission=1283] was 1hr in length.
[mission=1390] was also 1hr in length.
[mission=1391] was also 1hr in length.
The same as previous Hymdall [champion=711] is required to complete.

Description
The time has come to make our move against the Legion. The Legion has multiple portals across the Broken Isles. Should your armies succeed in securing one while it's still active, Hymdall can use the runestones you gathered to direct it to whatever hellish world Hodir is trapped in.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Black Rook Hold: Greater Power
The raw power of the runestones will allow Hymdall to temporarily open a tear into demonic worlds, but it's not enough. The Legion hides its presence in far away worlds with dark magic. Bring a greater runestone so that Hymdall can hone in on our enemies across the cosmos.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Fate of Hodir
It is time, <name>. Go to Azsuna and use the captured gateway to travel to Niskara and find Hodir. The Legion will regret they set foot on Azeroth!
