You can only get this quest if you've completed Cleansing Drak'Tharon.
Equivalent to An Invitation, of Sorts..., which is attainable if you have NOT competed Cleansing Drak'Tharon.
Darkness called. But I was on the phone, so I missed him. I tried to *69 Darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled "Pick up the phone, Darkness!" but he ignored me.

Crafted of bone and dripping with blood, this choker is of intricate and deliberate design. Gazing upon it overwhelms you with an ominous presence - one that compels you to wear it. You fight the urge, and resolve to bring it back to Ebon Watch. If anyone can explain this, a death knight can....
