HERE IS WHAT YOU DO.

1) talk to ysera in nordrassil (actually read what she says its not a quest)
2) whatever areas she is trying to talk to you about is where your missing something
3) go to that area aka whatever shrine or area in hyjal
4) this will narrow your search down since there really is no anwser that fits everyones problem of what quest they are missing
5) if there are no quests go in the portals in that area. you are def missing something there so look those specific quests up where they start and end to narrow it down more.

basically you need to finish all the pre quests to move forward and ysera will point you in the right direction by what she is talking about.

Description

You have awakened the ancients, {name}, but the wilderness spirit Aessina remains silent. With her help, we can turn the tide of this attack and undo the damage Twilight's Hammer has done. There may be one who can help us. The oldest of the trees, Nordu, stood in the center of what is now the Flamewake for thousands of years. His wisdom is as old as this mountain. If that old tree still lives, perhaps he can awaken Aessina... seek him out.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to AvianaMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    <name>, you've done all you can here. This whole cavern is about to collapse in on itself! I'll gather up the last of our feathered steeds and ensure that the flamegate is sealed behind me. You should go on ahead and let Aviana know that this abominable hatchery is no more!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • FirefightMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    It is... too late for me. Burned to all but the core. I have lived eons ... yet still my end seems sudden. New life can spring from old. I still have wisdom to pass on. Please... do not let them take me before my work is done. Keep the tormentors at bay... just a little longer, <class>.
