TheWoWDBI don't know if you have to complete the quest with the 5 hippogryphs first, but for me, the person to start this questline is at 27.8 21.2. He was in an iceblock surrounded by 4 mobs. When I approached he came out and offered me the quest :-)

Description
The Moon Guard were once among the most powerful sorcerers on Azeroth. Most assumed their ranks demolished after the War of the Ancients, but it seems they have managed to survive in their ancient stronghold in Suramar! I believe they could be valuable allies in our quest if they still oppose the Legion. {name}, if you can save what remains of the Guard, I will work to convince the Council of Six to lend us additional aid.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Focusing Our Efforts
The Nightfallen in Suramar were once a part of the Nightborne, but have been exiled by their former brethren and cut off from the Nightwell. I believe they could be valuable allies in our quest if you can turn them to our side. I know only that they have gone into hiding somewhere in Suramar.
