I would suggest appoaching the quest hand in point with caution. When heading towards Nathanos I experienced some phasing issues and the entire area morphed into an alliance base resulting in me getting flagged for PvP! Was successful the second time I attempted it.

Follow the road to the west to the Timberfell Outpost subzone.
[npc=138285] is at 71.19 50.91
/way Tiragarde Sound 71.19 50.91 Turn in locationYes, the fastest way is to use the bridge with alliance guards.
If you really dont want this, there is a road to the south without guards, but it's kinda far away.Into the Heart of Tiragarde quest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPXIq0lZb-g

Indeed, if you come in from the south this seems to happen. However, there is another Nathanos at 71.2 50.9 that you can approach and from where you start to clear the base before occupying it.

Description
Step one is to establish a more suitable base of operations. A pirate's den will do in a pinch, but I believe the warchief expects better of us. Let's split up and push farther inland, to the west. Be on the lookout for something defensible and inconspicuous.
Where to go
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Breaking Kul Tiran Will
Our partnership with the Zandalari will soon be secured. Took a little longer than I expected... but such is the way of things. Unfortunately, the Alliance seems intent on securing a naval force of their own. That can't be allowed to happen. We set sail for Tiragarde Sound when you're ready.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Our Mountain Now
<name>, go take care of those "roughnecks." They might fashion themselves as tough, but a bit of your unique brand of Horde savagery should have them running in no time. Lilian, scout the area. We need to know about any nearby threats. Rangers, secure the perimeter.
