If you do this quest but don't accept the follow-up (Of Traitors and Treason) it will disappear. To continue this questline later you will need to skip to Flight of the Wintergarde Defender.
I believe you cannot obtain this quest if you started this quest chain in Howling Fjord.

Description
We're lucky we made it this far, {name}. We were ambushed by Scourge as soon as we landed. One of our men turned out to be a spy for the Cult of the Damned. Thassarian appears to have more evidence of cultist infiltration. Apparently it goes all the way to the top. I've sent one of my best couriers to our outpost in western Dragonblight, but he has not yet returned. I fear he may have fallen to the Scourge. Will you go to Dragonblight and search for him? Courier Lanson is his name.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
