I was surprised the quest just ENDS there. I get it, we're handing off the responsibility to Khadgar, but I thought it would be like the artifact questline, where there is a delayed next quest you could only do after The Nighthold opens. But no, this is the actual end. Actually quite disappointed.
"Er, yes, champion, you go and do the Nighthold battles. I'll just stay here.
F-FOR AZEROTH?"
Thanks Khadgar.

Description
Illidan's soul rests safely within Light's Heart. Take this vessel and deliver it to Khadgar with the following instructions: When Gul'dan attempts to tear the sky asunder and bring the dark titan into our world, call forth the power of this vessel and release Illidan's soul into his body. Go now, {name}. We do not have much time. The dark ritual will begin soon.
