If you're like me and have been waiting to do the Sanctum of Domination raid until it was story relevant. Do it before this chapter, it literally starts with a recap of the END of the raid!
Thrall should give you a conversation option "Witness the end of the battle" to click. If not, abandon the quest, and accept a fresh Doorway in the Dark from the Primus. Then, speak to Thrall (63,25 Korthia) and you should see the convo option.
If you are the Alliance, you would speak to Jaina instead.

What to do
Description
I fear our efforts to stop Zovaal have been thwarted, mortal. A doorway has been opened to a forbidden realm... and the Banished One has reclaimed a power taken from him long ago. I sense your allies returning from the Sanctum of Domination. I must know every detail of what transpired.
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.

- Korthia Awaits
Ready yourself, <name>. Our allies await your arrival in Korthia.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Symbol of Hope
Before Anduin followed the Jailer through the gateway, he dropped something. I don't think this was part of the Jailer's plan. It must be a sign that Anduin's soul is still his own! <Jaina opens her hand to show you a golden compass.> This was very personal to Anduin. I feel his presence upon it.
