I found myself stuck and unable to receive this quest although I had completed Champion: Rexxar. Little did I know there was a breadcrumb in Stormheim from Beastmaster Hilaire, the Homecoming quest. So this chain branches out and isn't linear. Once I completed that quest the others kicked in. Much thanks to Blizz support on helping me figure this out.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Highmountain Hunters
I've just received word from our scouts that they've identified some potential recruits. It seems as though the famed Hemet Nesingwary has set up camp not too far from our lodge.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Aiding Our Allies
Our Skyhorn allies could use some assistance. Their ongoing war with the invading harpies has left them low on supplies. Anything we can give them will surely help with their efforts to rid those witches from their village.
