If you're like me and skipped Nazjatar because you were only interested in earning [Two Sides to Every Tale] and seeing Sylvanas' fall from the Horde side, you need to complete Stay of Execution before you can start this chain

Saurfang loyalists questline starts from The Eve of Battle.
There is a bug in this quest and all subsequent quests that occur in Orgrimmar as of patch 9.0.2. Having the quest “Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons” triggers phasing such that it won’t allow you to complete the quests. Abandoning the Shadowlands quest fixes the phasing, but the quest automatically re-appears after ~20 seconds, making it exceedingly difficult to finish the quests, especially the one “Traitors in Our Midst” where you have to kill Eitrigg. Not being able to complete this final storyline will prevent you from attaining the title “Veteran of the Fourth War.”

What to do
Description
The Dark Lady requests your presence in Orgrimmar, {name}. It seems the rats have finally come out of hiding. Which will make it all the easier to exterminate them. Do not delay. We have waited for this moment long enough.

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.
