The allegiance that he speaks of was after the "Third War" (a.k.a. Warcraft 3) Thrall and Jaina swear an allegiance and Jaina even goes so far as to defile her father in the name of the allegiance. As far as I can tell, this quest was added sometime between "Vanilla" and Cataclysm.

This is a fairly subtle reference to to the fact that alliance can actually walljump, to this day, straight into valley of trials.
In fact, young nelf alliance hunters, upon hitting level 10, would get some free HKs by walljumping in, taming Sarkoth, renaming their pet Sarkoth, flagging themselves for pvp, and then shadowmelding.
Innocent little level 3-5s would run up to hit the quest mob sarkoth and instantly become flagged!

Description
You're not just another grunt - you seem to be a serious {class}. Good, because that's exactly what I need. Try not to let the word out, since I don't want to cause a panic... but there have been reports of more humans nearby. This is an egregious betrayal of the peace that we negotiated with that miserable Jaina Proudmoore! We can't allow humans here in Durotar, and especially not here in the Valley. You will find them to the south. Slay them quickly, before their numbers increase any more.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cutting Teeth
The first order of business will be to put a little strength in your backbone. I could send you out to the Barrens to hunt kodo, but well, in all honesty, you're more useful to us alive than dead.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Galgar's Cactus Apple Surprise
It sure gets hot out here in the Valley of Trials. <Galgar wipes his brow.> If only I had some cactus apples, I could make my famous cactus apple surprise! Nothing cools you off faster than a piece of that delicious treat. I'll tell you what, <name>.
