The visitors mentioned by Anselm are 4 Winterskorn Guards and the darkfallen Prince Keleseth. They have a little discussion :

High Executor Anselm yells: Archers at the ready! Hold your fire!
Prince Keleseth says: Ah, but it is you who intrudes on our master's territory. He could wipe you out in an instant for that transgression alone! Arthas does not have much love or patience for his escaped slaves.
High Executor Anselm yells: What fool dares to enter her majesty's dominion unannounced?
Prince Keleseth says: But... he has learned of your victory over Stormwind's North Fleet and thinks you have potential. Potential to see reason and abandon Sylvanas' childish rebellion.
Prince Keleseth says: Arthas is prepared to offer you power beyond your imagination. The puny army you lead here would pale in comparison to the phalanxes at your command if you returned to the Scourge's embrace.
Prince Keleseth says: Behold the Vrykul! A race that has perfected war and destruction to the point of an art form. Already they've cast their lot with the Lich King! Their dwellings surround you and their numbers are easily five times yours.
Prince Keleseth says: The choice is yours, Anselm. Return to the Lich King's army and fight alongside them or remain loyal to your so-called queen and suffer their wrath as they drive you from their homelands!
High Executor Anselm says: Is that all you've come to say?
High Executor Anselm yells: Send these scumbags back to hell! Fire at will!
Prince Keleseth says: Such a futile gesture.
Prince Keleseth says: Listen to your men's dying breaths as I drink in their souls!
Prince Keleseth says: This will not be the last you hear of me. I will return to spit on your corpse after Utgarde's armies have descended upon you!

At the end of the little event, the High Executor give's you an other quest : A Score to Settle.

Thank you for providing this dialogue, but I want to correct upon something in the beginning of it. The third line, which is made by High Executor Anselm, comes before the second line, which is made by Prince Keleseth. Thus:

High Executor Anselm yells: Archers at the ready! Hold your fire!
High Executor Anselm yells: What fool dares to enter her majesty's dominion unannounced?
Prince Keleseth says: Ah, but it is you who intrudes on our master's territory. He could wipe you out in an instant for that transgression alone! Arthas does not have much love or patience for his escaped slaves.


That would also make more sense.

Let's send word back to old Anselm then. Victory has come later than expected, but better late than never. Tell him it will take our forces a few hours at most to finish off the stragglers here. Glory to the Banshee Queen!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
