It really is an example of how terrible the storytelling is this expansion.

The questgiver says "The assassination of Blood Prince Dreven at sea will be unexpected, demoralizing, and beneficial to the long-term success of our larger campaign."

They don't even mention Blood Prince Dreven (or any of the san'layn for that matter) once in any of the related Horde quests. So it certainly won't be demoralizing.

Description

Good to see you again, {name}. Mathias and I are discussing what to do with new intel that his SI:7 agents procured for us. The intercepted letter contains orders from Warchief Sylvanas for an operation the Horde is undertaking at sea. This could be a rare opportunity, or a distraction. The letter is purposefully light on details, and it's unclear if we should make this a top priority or focus on our other missions. Do you have a moment to talk through this with Mathias and me?
