This quest is still a known issue, with level 85's not being able to see Npc or complete this quest.

If you use Carbonite addon with "Show quest on map" turned on, you should be able to see all available quest. However, I got stuck at the same spot with no other available quest in the zone and this can make it seem like a dead end.

I found 3 item drops that start quests, that can open up more quest that count toward your Hillsbrad 50/50 loremaster achievement, this ended up to be all I needed and got it today.

The Battle for Hillsbrad: [item=63250]
Muckgill's Flipper: [item=63090]
Daggerspine Attack Plans: [item=63686]

If these do not end up completing your achievement after opening up all available quest, then you are definitely missing some out there in this zone, I Hope this helps a bit.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Kasha Will Fly AgainHillsbrad Foothills · Level 7-30

    Kasha will fly again, <name>. She must if we are to claim vengeance! Sadly, Orkus must stay here with Kasha. You must help us. I beg of you! Listen carefully, quest giver. When I first arrived here I flew around for days to learn the lay of the land.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • They Will Never Expect This...Hillsbrad Foothills · Level 7-30

    They made a mistake by not killing me when they had the chance. Perhaps they thought Orkus would drown. HAH! Now they will pay the price for their carelessness. You and I will tear this island apart, <name>. They will never expect this!
