To further update, after you complete A Hero's Weapon, you need to go to the Broken Shore hub with Illidan, Velen, etc, and get the quest Champions of Legionfall. Then, go back to your hunter's lodge and you can pick up the quest Devastating Effects.

Description

The Burning Legion will not rest until they have destroyed everything and everyone. Their presence here has had a devastating effect on our lands, and now it seems our wildlife as well. I have heard numerous reports of sickly animals in the thicket that surrounds the demon-infested city of Suramar. Make your way there and see if the rumors are true.

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.
