On Alliance you get:
Feh. Another Alliance lackey here to polish Turalyon's armor.
And then the grunts laugh, I loved it. That's tough love orc banter! meanwhile apparently Turalyon drops a hard r without a second thought. come on man, you're literally the leader of the alliance. you're making us look bad here.

Description
The rooks and their chosen riders will need time to bond. Perhaps you should use this time to check in on our other trainees. The Stormriders are the traditional army of the earthen, but many Unbound and Oathsworn have expressed willingness to fight at our side due to help in restoring their machines. Adelgonn, Geya'rah, and Turalyon are busy training them. Go and see if they need any assistance.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rook Rally
Now that we've got the conduit all charged, I suppose it's time we joined everyone on the peak. Thrall talked me through what to expect, but also said summoning the stormrooks will require me to trust my feelings and instincts. An earthen trusting their feelings and instincts. That's... a challenge.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Goldbricking
Is this what we are to rely on to help us defeat Xal'atath? The Unbound define themselves by their desertion. And the Oathsworn, for being made of stone, are pretty soft. City life hasn't done them any favors. We've got a lot of work to do.
