When I tried to get this quest today, it wasn't available from this quest-giver. On the NPC page for Slain Watchmen some are saying it's been bugged for a while. In any case, after spending a few minutes waiting for it to appear, I logged and when I logged back in it was available.
Upon acceptance of the quest, a Forsaken Assassin says "Gilneas will soon belong to the Forsaken!" and attacks you.

Ah, yes. The effects of the Curse cannot ever be fully cured as far as we know. With treatment, however, your mind will remain yours... and not that of a wild animal. We are fortunate that the treatment worked on you. Normally, I can only treat recent infections.

The reefs have always protected us from a coastal attack. The earthquakes must've opened a passage for the Forsaken ships. Quick, <name>. Slow down the attackers while I get the rest of the militia ready. I think I can hear the Prince and some of our men engaging the Forsaken even as we speak.
