Drop rate for this quest is pretty low. I had to kill several Kvaldir Mistweavers before I finally got the item.
For a second, I actually thought I was either killing the wrong NPCs or forgetting to do something. I Reread the quest several times. Confirmed to myself that I was doing everything right, so I kept killing. 10 kills later I check WowHead and found out the drop rate is low.
If you haven't gotten the item yet, just keep on pew pewing. ;)

Description
A Kvaldir lieutenant known as Orabus directed the initial incursion against my people at Pal'ea, He oversaw the destruction of both villages and then disappeared into the mist. In those early days there was talk of a horn that Orabus gifted to the Kvaldir mistweavers. This horn could be used to summon him should the need arise. We need to get that horn from the Kvaldir mistweavers and call forth Orabus. If he is destroyed, these savages might retreat. Seek out mistweavers at Pal'ea, to the south.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
