TheWoWDBI found that I had to finish two other quests before this one popped. You have to do The Black Shield, and then the follow-up, Return to Krog, for this to pop.

Glowing Tourmaline Ring, Grimtotem Cloak, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
We've gleaned as much as we can from the ruins of the inn. I'm concerned about where the investigation will lead us from here, but we must know the truth. Between the hoofprints and the shield with Mosarn's mark, I'm led to believe that the Grimtotems may have been involved. They've recently established a settlement in the swamp, Blackhoof Village to the northeast. Travel to Blackhoof Village and search for more arms of Mosarn's manufacture.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Grimtotem Plot
With the activities of the Grimtotems in Thousand Needles brought to light, many tauren now regard them with suspicion. We've seen high-ranking Grimtotems engage in murder and kidnapping to advance their interests and I fear we may become their next target.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Identifying the Brood
Whilst that craven fool, Mok'Morokk, wallows in power and Tharg wrestles the demons of sorrow and vengeance and vies for leadership of the clan, I seem to be the only one concerned with identifying the source of aggression on our old home. Why the puzzled stare, <name>?
