It's a quest made out of 3 steps:
-Activating the portal
-Accepting your gift (your new mount)
-Going to the cave in the southeast

The first point in the quest is fairly easy, you walk to the big portal and click on the "Legion Gateway Activator"., This will make the Ashtongue appear and after a bit of conversation you can claim your new mount by clicking it. (step 2) The mount is automatically added to your bar.

Now you see a clickable object on your right, but that's not part of the quest. Click it anyway as it helps you on the bonus objective.

Then just mount up, and go down the path to your right which will lead you to the cave. By arriving, your quest is done, and you can turn it in at Allari.

Description

Lord Illidan has placed you in charge. Now, we just need the rest of our Illidari attack force. There are three Burning Legion gateways ahead. Activate them and our Illidari will pour through from the Black Temple. Like most Legion constructs, the gateways are powered by souls. I think we have provided enough to activate this first one, don't you? Let us bring in our Ashtongue forces.

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 Invasion BeginsLevel 8-45

    Our advance force of demon hunters is here and has engaged the Legion. Make our presence known. Let's send a shiver down every demon spine. Raise our colors with pride, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enter the Illidari: CoilskarLevel 8-45

    The next gateway's down on the Molten Shore. Our Coilskar forces are waiting at the Black Temple on the other side. Personally, I wouldn't have chosen to bring our naga allies. But, their leader did swear fealty to Lord Illidan. I suppose we'll see.
