The quest item is obtained from Thalryssa by buying it from her stash of items, once you have Revered reputation with the Nightborne. If you don't understand why she doesn't have an option to hand it to you (like I did), this is why. Costs 120g at Exalted.
That is every comment on this page.

Description
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. If you can convince the Nightfallen to aid us, they may be able to offer the Moon Guard and us both refuge right under the Legion's nose.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Saving the Guard
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!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Repaid Debt
The Moon Guard fought against the Legion many years ago, during the War of the Ancients. Their intimate knowledge of our enemies would be invaluable to our cause. They have remained in Shal'Aran since you saved Thalrenus and his kin. Shall we pay them a visit and see what they can do?
