Enjoy the skippable cutscene. That is all this quest is.

As a Hordie, I was unable to pick up Strike While the Iron is Hot after completing this one. Apparently, Zero Xuks Given was also a prereq for me. I couldn't complete that one because the [npc=85980] wouldn't appear. I wrote a ticket and the response basically said they didn't have time to deal with it, so check Wowhead, but when I logged into the character a few days later, the Spirit was there and I could continue.
I guess the advice to anyone caught in a similar situation is to try logging out or exiting and maybe writing a ticket if those don't work.

Description

The notes you recovered tell of a device capable of subjugating even a magnaron. Ancient legends speak of such artifacts, crafted by the worldbuilders to keep these creatures in check. I had discounted them as silly stories, but if they are true... {name}, Draenor is doomed. No army will be able to stop them if they harness this power. We must stop them or die trying. Here, I shall bind our sight to Nisha and hope she can locate this artifact.

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.

I assume something important was going down in the cutscene, but sadly there was no sound (like a lot of them actually) and no subtitles...

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Fair WarningGorgrond · Level 15-40
The ogron here are far from brilliant, but they are more intelligent than the gronn. They're large, and even stronger than they look. Their leader, Borogahn, is especially formidable. Despite several fights, I have not yet managed to kill him. Heed my words, friend.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Chains of IronGorgrond · Level 15-40
The artifact we seek is within our grasp. Be prepared for a fight. If they truly have learned how to control gronn, this may be more difficult than I anticipated. I will join you in this battle as soon as you arrive.
