A Blizzard GM responded to a question that I had about this...

"I understand you have some questions regarding the quest that involves the item "Tear of Elune'. I was able to look into this for you as requested my friend:). In doing so I can confirm you did nothing wrong with the quest or anything. There is currently a known issue in which when players complete the quest "In the House of Light and Shadow" the quest item remains. There are no other quest that come after that so that item can be freely deleted."

I am sure the follow up quests will show up in your class hall when they are ready.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fate of Val'sharahVal'sharah · Level 10-45

    Malfurion, my love.... My heart breaks for him, but I cannot follow where he goes. I have sworn myself to Elune, my goddess, to defend her temples and lands with all that I am. I cannot stand by while my order is in danger. May she keep you in her graces, Malfurion.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Darkheart Thicket: Enter the NightmareVal'sharah · Level 10-45

    We could not save Ysera, but we did prevent her from destroying the temple. Now I can finally turn my attention to my husband. I do not know what fate he suffers now. I only know that if we stand any chance of saving him, you must go now. Follow Xavius into the Nightmare and find Malfurion.
