TheWoWDBAfter finishing this quest, the Lich King shows up to tell you who he wants recruited next, but The Ruined Kingdom requires 103 whereas you got this one at 101, so don't freak out if you can't accept anything in Acherus yet. Just come back at 103 and talk to Mograine.

It's a mission in your scouting map in Acherus hall.!
This helped, as the LichKing still talked to me about it, but as I was 101 I didn't get the quest so I actually just went to Stromgarde, because I thought I'd get a quest there.

Description
The Four Horsemen will need perfect steeds. This is no simple task. For the next step of our campaign, I have organized a mission to the Realm of Shadows. The goal of the mission is to find Salanar the Horseman, leader of the Dark Riders, and summon him to Acherus. The mission is currently waiting your assignment.
