TheWoWDBWhat's the previous quest? Cause if I talk to the Ensign Ward she just says "You are needed at Greywatch, sir. Whenever you're ready." ... I'm kinda stuck here...

To everyone confused about this quest:
The previous quest is A Heavy Burden.
When you are on current quest [npc=94346] saysYou are needed at Greywatch, sir.
Whenever you're ready., and below she gives you the option "Take me to Greywatch". Click it, and you get a free flight to Greywatch.
When this quest is turned in in Greywatch, Ensign Ward in Valdisdall will still tell you the same thing. However, she won't offer you any flights, and you have to rely on [npc=98161], or get to Greywatch by yourself.
[npc=94318] in Greywatch will then offer the quests Combustible Contagion and Whispers from the Dark.

Description
The strange-talking vrykul said I might be able to meet you here. I have orders from Greymane. It seems he may have a lead on Sylvanas' location. He's set up a camp near the base of the mountain. We've run into some troubles, though. It looks like the Horde may have homed in on our position. We could use your help. You can take my gryphon. Just speak to me when you're ready to leave.
