I found out that other classes do 5 missions at this point in their campaign, yet druids have to do 10?

This quest needs an update - just making it so the missions award 2 shards each would be perfect in my opinion.

Description

If Malorne is trapped in the Nightmare, we must try to save him. It may sound like a fool's errand, but we cannot sit by idly. There is an abandoned portal within the Emerald Dreamway, one that we druids closed long ago because it leads to the Rift of Aln. To infuse it with energy once again, we will need shards of Nightmare which can be found on satyr lieutenants. Send our champions to hunt and kill these enemies.

Where this quest fits

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Focusing the EnergiesLevel 45
In addition to shards of nightmare, we need Blood of Sargeras to reactivate the portal to the Rift of Aln. This rare reagent can be obtained from around the Broken Isles. Rumor has it that emissaries are in search of hardened adventurers, and may offer these in reward.
