At the very last stage of this quest, after you defeat Kel'thuzad and you're supposed to listen to the Margrave, it can apparently get stuck. My fix was relogging; the dialogue triggered as soon as I quickly logged back in again.

Not sure if being a dracthyr was the cause, but either way, it's solvable!

Solved for me: The last part of the quest wasn't completing when I tryed to enter the Overlook, "Seat of the Primus" and talk to Draka , but then I saw Draka in the place that she usually stays too, inside the hall, near the Primus Statue... so when I aproached her, the last part of the quest completed.

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.
