This guy better be buying me one huge beer after all I've gone through to save his butt.
A'dal's reaction when you arrive?
"Well well well. Look who need's my help again. Couldn't stay away when you wanted a key to Karazhan, could you? But as soon as some walrus men need help, off you go, and I never hear from you again. I've been sitting hear humming to myself for MONTHS. You didn't even call!"

What to do
Description
I appreciate everything that you have done for us, {name}. I have one last errand for you... one last gleaming hope for a paladin who deserves any salvation that we can extend. Go now to Shattrath and speak to the naaru, A'dal. He has long been a beacon of light and powerful ally to devout paladins. Impart Bridenbrad's story and seek any aid that he might have to offer. I cannot impress how important it is that you move quickly - I fear our crusader does not have much more time in this world.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hope Yet Remains
<Bridenbrad raises a hand to you as he catches his breath.> It was nearly as painful as it looked, but it was as if I could feel some of the corruption being burnt away from within my body. It seems the plague is not so readily bested though. <class>, thank you for everything that you have done.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Boon of A'dal
I am pleased that you have come to me, <name>. I know of Crusader Bridenbrad, and of your travels in hope of saving him. Bridenbrad's valor has sparked remarkable selflessness in you, and this is a miracle unto itself. The Light will take care of its own.
