So some good news... according to research it seems that the Quest giver is Alleria Windrunner. The bad news is we still don't know how to trigger it. Perhaps there's a pre-existing requirement.

Hats off to Habu64. If that is indeed the trigger (completing all of the Mac'Aree questline and doing the dungeon) then we just need to wait for week 3 before proceeding.

Description

Many krokul wander the city below, shrouded in shadow. I will not accept that they are all beyond redemption. Arkhaan was a leader, once. Some among his followers may still reside in the ruins of Oronaar, straddling the thin divide between reason and oblivion. Enlist the aid of your order. Scour the ruins for any that can be saved.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Nath'raxas Hold: Rescue MissionKrokuun · Level 45

    Your forces are adequately equipped for the mission to save my people from Nath'raxas. Order your champions to bolster my assault, and together we will dismantle the Legion's stranglehold over the region.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Relics of the Ancient EredarEredath · Level 45

    I failed Arkhaan. I won't fail again. If there is to be any hope of freeing the krokul, the ethereal threat must be removed from Eredath. L'ura has been vanquished, but the void clings heavily near the Shadowguard Incursion. Before we commence, ensure your forces are protected from the shadow.
