TheWoWDBIn order to start the next quest in the chain do not simply fly to the Isle of Quel'Danas.
You must go to the flight master in Fairbreeze Village, Skymaster Brightdawn <Dragonhawk Master> ir order to start the next quest. This is a "kill credit" because that is how quest coding in WoW is written. This will mark the quest as complete and allow you to speak to Lady Liadrin.

Weirdly enough you'll start taking fatigue when flying to Quel'Danas, something I've never really seen on a flight path

Description
With our best defenders defeated and the line broken, Arthas made quick work of Silvermoon's remaining forces and tore through the city. This is where we part ways. I must return to Silvermoon before Halduron starts sending rangers to search for me. The dragonhawk master in Fairbreeze Village has orders to fly you to Quel'Danas. Someone much more familiar with the events on the island will meet you there.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Day Hope Died
The Ranger-General fell just east of Fairbreeze Village, where she was holding the line to protect the civilians as they retreated to Silvermoon. If it wasn't for her, our people would number even less than we do now.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Setting Sun
Remember the Sunwell. We ride into battle with those words for a reason. We lost so much that day... I lost so much that day. Shine the lantern on the southern side of the island, where the Dead Scar meets the sea. There you will see how the fall of the Sunwell began.
