DO NOT abandon this quest! I needed space in log, so I abandoned it hoping it will come back after zone change or login, but it is not coming back.. I will write ticket to GM, as I don't want to lose breadcrumb quest :(

EDIT: phew, got a quest back from GM. Be careful, unlike me.

Description

We cannot myopically focus all our efforts on Zandalar. Horde treachery simmers all across the globe. One particular hot spot lies in the Arathi Highlands, near the storied citadel of Stromgarde. The Horde has set up an encampment nearby, and intends to capture our territory. Speak with Ralston Karn, the recruitment officer for the division in charge of this particular warfront. He could use a good {class} like you.
