TheWoWDBAfter you finish the previous questline (Mending A Broken Hart), I wasn't able to see the question marker on the map (October 9th), but when i went to the outside of the Heart of the Forest tree, there was the quest. He's where the training dummies are, to the south when you open the map The Trunk part of the Heart of the Forest area.

If you're like me and can't figure out why this isn't showing on your map... the same NPC also offers a calling quest with a blue ! that overrides the campaign quest yellow marker. Click on the NPC and you can then select the campaign quest. Only spent 10 minutes trying to figure that out (eyeroll).
Questline from The Fate of Ara'lon to Unbroken Bonds took about 25 minutes.

Description
{name}, I have an urgent request to make of you. Recently, the Wild Hunt has been encountering the masked fae in greater numbers... particularly in the area surrounding Blackthorn Grove. I sent a hunting party to investigate, but they have yet to return. Ara'lon was leading the hunt. You have offered him aid before, yes? I ask that you do so again. Search the area for signs of the missing hunters and report back to me.

My hunting party was ambushed not far from here. I narrowly escaped capture, but the others were taken deeper into Blackthorn Grove. We must find and rescue them, but we are vastly outnumbered. We'll need to disguise ourselves while we search the grove.
