IMPORTANT INFO:
- End of the Supply Line and Harrying the Hunters can be done by both factions, but "The Voice of..." followup requrement is different.
- Goldrinn's Ferocity and Howling Mad allows other players to share you quests next on line, but Lycanthoth the Corruptor{H} will let you be in same phase as npc.
- Into the Maw!{A2;H;H2}. There are 2Alliance and 2Horde variants, for each faction one from wolf spirit and one backup from main quest guy in Shrine of Goldrinn.
- Whole Firelands Forgeworks(8) chain doesn't have any pre-quests. You can get first time to Hyjal and ask warlock to summon you there and do the quests. However Lightning in a Bottle{H} is needed to use the standart teleport.

this is the quest completion needed to open the portal from orgrimmar to mount hyjal
There's some sort of syncing issue with the heart of azeroth quest based on Hyjal, as Ysera doesn't spawn

<Ysera's eyes look distant, as if not fully acknowledging you.> I feel it as well, {class}. Ragnaros has arrived. We must defeat his minions before he can join them and lend them his strength. Seek Malfurion Stormrage at the Tranquil Grove, west of here, and aid his forces in any way you can. I must seek answers from within the Emerald Dream. You must protect the World Tree until I return.

- The Flameseer's Staff
A powerful artifact known as the Flameseer's Staff was lost during the initial onslaught by the enemy forces. It was an ancient bone staff that granted its wielder power over the elements of fire. Its fragments litter the area around us. Find them and bring them to Malfurion.
