My scribe is lvl 175 Zandalari Inscription and according to the game, she has completed Drawing Blood and [quest=49944], but not this one. However, the quest giver, [npc=131386] has no quest for me and it is not in my quest log. I asked a Game Master on how to get back on track, but they said that "I have received your message, in which you told us you could not find Kronah for the quest Lines in the Sand. It seems this is not working as intended; however, there have been no previous reports about it, and because of this, we suggest you send a bug report in game. This way can be investigated by our developers.". So now I have submitted a bud report and are dreading the prospect of levelling Zandalari Inscription on another toon....
[EDIT] As seen in the comments, zone out and then back again and do the quest Sacrificial Writes and you will be right on track.

Description
This was all I had to offer you, young scribe. But your journey is not yet at an end. If you're up for some traveling, and interested in some of the deadlier blood contracts, you're going to have to travel to Zandalar. Once there, seek out a sethrak by the name of Veriss in an area known as Vol'dun. <Kronah grabs an odd-looking jar and opens it. The foulest odor you've ever smelled emanates from it and you reel in disgust.> Pickled crocolisk eggs are my favorite. Would you like some?
Where to go

I had the Same problem and did the same thing. My gamemaster suggested to "zone out" and back in. Which I did. Helped because now I was able to get the quest Sacrificial Writes. After I finished that one I got a follow one [quest=4987] After I was done with that one I was able to get "Lines in the Sand" (for the record, all on Ally Side)
