TheWoWDBI really like how a lot of the new old-world quests are turning out - seems like we'll see a lot more intermittent, mainly-for-fun leveling blues from quests.

It is done! Together we were able to bring down a dangerous adversary. Neptulon himself shall hear of your exploits here, {class}. Allow me to extend you his thanks... You should leave now. This place will not remain safe for long. Soon, the naga will seek vengeance for their priestess.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Revenant's Vengeance
I am Hydronis, a servant of Neptulon the Tidehunter, Lord over all waters. Azshara and her sinister naga have arrayed themselves against my master, and seek a war with him. This is the first battle in what shall surely be a long struggle. I have fought bitterly, <race>, and have grown weary.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Official Assessment
You have accomplished much in your efforts against the naga, <name>. But I fear it is not nearly enough.... This is my official assessment of the naga presence. I'm confident that my peers in the wildlands will take the necessary action.
