Here's the conversation you'll witness if you stick around after Jaina opens the portal for you.

Spoiler

[npc=147842] says: Telaamon, thank you again for... everything. This cannot be easy, giving your life so that we may defeat the Horde.
[npc=147844] says: I fought the Burning Legion longer than your known ancestry, Lady Proudmoore. I walk with no fear.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: You have no fear of your own death? The Horde will do terrible things to you, Telaamon.
Blademaster Telaamon says: All of our paths lead back to the Light... some can be more painful than others.
Blademaster Telaamon says: My only regret is that I will not see this war through to its end. You all have the much harder task ahead.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: We will not let you down, Telaamon. Your sacrifice will be remembered.
[npc=148021] says: Telaamon, sir, we're under attack by a lone darkspear named Rokhan!
Blademaster Telaamon says: Rokhan? I have heard of this shadow hunter. Let us see how powerful he truly is.

Description

Shaw reports that Zandalari scouts have been dispatched to alert of our "full assault". We did it, {name}. The Horde and Zandalari will throw their armies at our forces within Nazmir. We cannot let their sacrifice be in vain. We must get back to Boralus and let Halford know it's time to strike. Come, I'll create a portal for us to leave, once we say one final word to Telaamon.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Taking the Blood GateLevel 50

    We have our forces spread out throughout Nazmir, but we need to do something that will force Rastakhan into action. We must personally march into Zuldazar and take the Blood Gate. This will cause them to throw their full army at us.
