You have to be level 90 in order to make starting quest available
It's a bit weird how abruptly the quest chain ends, considering Salandria and Taelia are usually more important characters, the quest is only available at 90, and you basically rescue whom I assume from earlier quest dialogue to be Salandria's best friend / girlfriend, Crusader Dawnheart. The ending quest box is like 2-3 lines of text, there's no NPC dialogue between NPCs eitther, and none of the rescued paladins have anything to say. As soon as you turn the quest in Salandria and Taelia just disappear instantly, no elaboration, while the other paladins just stay there standing at the edge of Deatholme forever.
You need level 90 to see the quest.
