Figuring out how to get this quest on an alt after skipping the intro is one of the most frustrating moments I've ever had playing this game. Blizzard is usually good about breadcrumbs and unlocking things like this, but not this time.
I am not sure what's needed before this point, but the quest that finally gave me the chain to get here was Get Your Bearings
Hope this helps someone down the line!

AS OF 2024: (For Alliance)
To get to Zandalar and do not have this quest available on your ship but still want to follow the breadcrumbs in the "right" way.
- approx time to complete: 5 minutesGet to level 10 and then;
1. Talk to the NPC next to your Hero's Calling boards to find the quest to start the BFA Campaign: Tide's of War.
2. After meeting the council and spending countless minutes in RP you'll need to meet Jaina at the docks.
3. Talk to Jaina at the docks and let her know you've heard this all before and skip the intro.
4. TURN ON LOW LEVEL QUESTS and talk to Taila, she should be right in front of you on the dock, and follow the quests:
- Get Your Bearings (from Taila)
- The Old Knight (from Taila)
- Sanctum of Sages (from Taila)
- Ferry Pass (From Cyrus Crestfall)
- >>When you FINISH A Nation Divided you can abandon the quest chain and head to your ship just outside to talk to Halford Wyrmbane and accept the quest The Zandalar Campaign.
5. Choose your first zone to set up a foothold (on the war table) - the hand in will popup in your quest log, giving you a new quest from Halford called "[Your Zone Here] Foothold".
6. Talk to Halford to start off the RP where he explains his battle plans (if you don't hear anything or can't see the dialogue do not fear, it only lasts about a minute.
7. Talk to the Ship Captain Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth and set sail (at the rear of the ship just up the stairs) and hand in the quest to Brigadier Thom just inland of the beach.Congrats, you can now come back to the ship captain whenever you want to jump over to Zuldazar. Hooray!
Need to get back to Boralus?:
8. Head over to Daria Smithson at 40.4 71.0, and ask her to take you back to Boralus.Hopefully this saves you from time wasted googling. :)
- Edit1: Spelling.
- Edit 2: Added in port back to Boralus.
- Edit 3: Updated description.
"Parked"? Am I the only one annoyed that NPCs with nautical experience are saying the ship is "parked", surely they mean "berthed" or "moored", it's a ship, not a car.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reinforcements
The resources you gather can be used to recruit new troops for the war effort. Return to me periodically to issue new recruitment orders for your missions. If you have available resources, you should use them now to issue your first recruitment order. The war effort rages on even as we speak.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Nation Divided
Kul Tiras must be unified before it can be of any help to the Alliance. Let's get you briefed on the current situation in each of our major territories. Then you can take a look at the map behind me and make the call on where you want to go first.
