TheWoWDBIf you do not see Vilebranch Stalkers and altars to destroy, you are on the opening Zul'Aman campaign quests and need to complete them first. I had to complete from The Gates of Zul'Aman to Break the Blade before I could complete the Special Assignment in Eversong.
If you haven't started the Zul'Aman campaign quests, this may not be an issue.

If you have the Zul'Aman campaign quests chain started but not finished, you need to complete Break the Blade before you will be able to see the altars and the [npc=249965]s needed for this quest. I found out this... the hard way.
Broken. Locking any WQ behind the storyline - special assignment or not - is stupid. I've done the storyline on 2 toons leveled all the way to 90 (one horde and one alliance) and now I want to level my other toons partially through WQs but can't even access this one. And yes I've tried ALL the suggestions from all the other comments. Still can't get it. Ain't nobody got time for this level of idiocy, Blizz.

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.
