I did 'Stepping up Surveillance' and, according to wowpedia, 'Slumbering Ancients' should be next (http://www.wowpedia.org/Darkshore_storyline). However, Onu doesn't offer me any quests.

I'm a level 19 hunter, so I seem to meet the level requirements. I've done the other quests offered by the others around Onu, the quests offered by Winterwisp and Broadleaf, hoping that would unlock Onu's quest.

Hoping someone can help me out

Description

We may not have twenty stone giants to take on our enemy, but we giants of ancient lumber are as strong as any rock. Look around you, {race}. My kindred sleep... yet they will heed the keeper's horn when the time of need is upon them. You will find Aros, the keeper of the grove, beyond the bridge northeast of here. Tell him the urgency of our situation.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Soggoth and KronnDarkshore · Level 5-30

    The Master's Glaive was the site of an ancient battle, <name>. The titans sent twenty of their stone giants against Soggoth. Of those twenty giants, one survived.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Naga In Our MidstDarkshore · Level 5-30

    The creature appears to have had its skull broken in a fight with Aros. It looks like what you've heard described as a naga before. It is said that despite their monstrous features, naga are night elves warped by the arcane magic of Queen Azshara.
