Still, after building Stormwind, this project should be a walk in the park.
Seems to be a joke about how the Stormwind park is STILL not rebuilt after the Cataclysm. :P

Vindicator Maraad: "I assure you, my Prophet, the commander we've chosen represents the very best of the Alliance."

God dammit Baros, you pleb.

We wouldn't have survived Tanaan without your strength, {name}. Many draenei and Alliance alike owe you a great debt. Before we departed for the Dark Portal, King Wrynn personally recommended that I place you in charge of our operations here in Draenor. After seeing you in action, I'm inclined to agree. This is your garrison to found. Plant the banner and we'll begin construction immediately, commander.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Finding a Foothold
So, you are the one that has led my children home? I have been waiting for you. The Iron Horde grows stronger every day. I have foreseen a great battle, but my visions are clouded. It's as if time is sitting on top of itself. One thing is certain, your presence here is of great importance.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Looking for Lumber
Some of the trees around here look small enough that the workers should be able to down them in no time. We can leave the hard labor to Shelly's men, but if you'd be willing to mark the trees for them to start with, we should be able to get this operation rolling much faster.
