This quest chain is for the Alliance only. I dont think the horde gets this follower. Unsure about her horde equivalent.
Edit: for clarification and apparently by popular demand lol.
I don't get any kind of notification when a response is posted to a comment (if there is a way to, I don't know it). So I just discovered a bunch of people upset about some info in the post. Sorry about that >.>Check out all the quests here before starting. A lot of them are picked up at the same time. They arent necessarily in any particular order with a few exceptions. BASICALLY do all the quests after you get Speaker for the Dead.
This quest chain, which leads to gaining the follower [npc=79426] begins with Speaker for the Dead not to be confused with Speaker for the Dead

I am a Horde, and I just did the quest and got [follower=205] as a follower. Please update the post, VenneccaBlind.
Mongrethod destroyed the world of Xandros yet got killed by Lady Liadrin. She obviously put her faith in the Light.

Teron'gor and Gul'dan were just leaving through the portal as I arrived... and I... I know I won't be able to defeat them. I'll hold open the portal as long as I can. It will be up to you to strike the killing blow. Our fate is in your hands, {name}.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Book Burning
Please, <name>... I don't have much time. The Shadow Council have allowed themselves to be turned into demons by Teron'gor and his warlocks! I have reason to believe that the shadowborne dementors are using spells given to them by Gul'dan to empower the demonic orcs.
