TheWoWDBFYI you can still complete this quest after Stromgarde was ruined.
Go over to the bridge that connects Arathi Highlands to Wetlands, coordinates 38.25, 90.08 - and talk to the NPC there. You can request to see Arathi the way it was before, and the castle Prince Galen Trollbane is supposed to be in will re-appear.

This quest is currently bugged for me in Legion Remix, I take the portal Darion Mograine creates, am teleported to Stromgarde partially in the air, dropped to the floor and as soon as I hit the floor I am teleported back to Dalaran (like how the Out of Time debuff does when you're outside the timerunning area). It doesn't matter how many times I do this, how many phase altering quests I complete, etc. Same result, every time. Interestingly enough while on the quest, even taking the portal in Dalaran to Stormwind teleports me to the same spot as Darion Mograine's portal, with the EXACT same results, being teleported back to Dalaran. This has rendered my order hall in Legion Remix uncompletable and the response I received from a GM is OUTRAGEOUS, they obviously didn't even care to READ the issue at hand, see screenshot below:

Stromgarde Keep is located in Arathi Highlands.
For Horde: Undercity portal from Dalaran is an easy choice. Dalaran crater is a more adventurous choice.
For Alliance: Ironforge Portal from Dalaran is an easy choice. Dalaran crater is a more adventurous choice.

Description
So the Lich King has revealed the second of the Four Horsemen... it appears that not even kings may rest as the world burns around them. So be it, Deathlord. I will send Nazgrim and Thassarian to meet you at the fallen kingdom of Stromgarde. Prince Galen Trollbane holds the key to the tomb of his father, a famous sword known as Trol'kalar. In order to raise the king as the second of the Four Horsemen, we will need to gain entrance to the tomb. Do what you must to persuade Galen assist us...

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Our Oldest Enemies
I will grant the Ebon Blade access to my father's tomb. First though, I must ask a favor. I have taken up the sword and banner of my father. I have reclaimed Stromgarde with its former citizens as my guard. Yet, one task remains.
