I can confirm that for sure after doing THIS quest the portal in SW to Uldum is open.

I did NOT do any quests offered by these 3 NPCs when I spoke with them.

I simply took this quest after the escape one, then flew and spoke to all 3. I happen to go north, west, east but I seriously doubt order matters.

So from the time of accepting the Escape quest to the portal being open was maybe 90s. . .

Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

Now that you've been suitably rewarded, I hope I can speak with you frankly. You've done my kingdom a great favor, but you've also unbalanced a fragile peace process. I was pursuing my brother's release strictly through diplomatic means in order to avoid bloodshed. Now, the enemy is sure to seek retaliation. Speak to Nomarch Teneth at the Tahret Grounds to the east, Sun Priest Asaris at the Seal of the Sun King to the north and Asaq at Mar'at to the west. Find out where the enemy will strike.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Al'Akir's VengeanceUldum · Level 30-35

    Listen, <name>. What struck Orsis was no natural sandstorm. It was the minions of Al'Akir. The elemental lord of air is firmly allied with Deathwing and it was only a matter of time before he set his subjects upon my people. Orsis has been attacked as a warning to us.
