Can you hear them fighting down below, <name>? It would appear that the Grimtotem tauren are no longer in the good graces of the Horde. I don't know what happened, but we can turn this to our advantage.

I will arrange a meeting with an ambassador from the Grimtotem. What I need you to do is put together a peaceful offering.

<Force Commander Valen points to Cookie.>

Talk to "Cookie," <name>. He's already been briefed on what we need to do.

This is the same guy from Azuremyst Isle, at Odesyus' Landing. Strangely, I have done all the beginning quests there on my worgen warlock, but when I talk to him now, he does not recognize me at all as if we have never met. Stupid scripting...
