This quest requires you to not only complete the quest chain listed above, but you must also do the Haunted quest chain, which in turn requires the Where's Wizzle? quest chain.
Tested with new character.
You need to do the chain Where's Wizzle? though to The Mad Magus and the chain Negotiations though to Back to Crazzle. You do not need to do any side quests.
These are the alliance versions, the Horde should be similar.
To open these two chains, you need to do [url=http://www.wowhead.com/quest=[25486]The Grimtotem are Coming through to [url=http://www.wowhead.com/quest=[25561]Circle the Wagons... er, Boats or the Horde equivalent.

Description
Alas, it's time for you to leave. How quickly the chicks fall from the nest. Or, something. Anyway, you've done solid work here, my friend, but Quentin and the night elves have been crying that they urgently need your help with the Grimtotem at Freewind Post to the northwest. If you ask me, it's a lost cause, but who knows... maybe with your help they'll actually succeed?
