If you're an level 85 (Or higher), like me, who just flew up there and killed him and then suddenly wonder why you only got 1 out 3 parts of the quest, then you need to simply loot the satchel in your inventory.

At least that worked for me, flew up there, killed him, looted the satchel, and flew back.

Because it's not written I'm writing a little post about HOW to get this quest. With Heirlooms and other EXP boost doodads this quest is normally skipped because you out level zone so fast and if you're like me and want a item that is a quest reward for completing this quest (like [item=30375] to complete the enchanted thorium set) trying to find your way to get this quest isn't quite so.... linear.

First you need to be aligned with [faction=934], and by that I mean you need to make it official, you need to have completed Allegiance to the Scryers. I wanted to rush this so I just started turning in [item=29739] and hit Honored and the quest lines in Netherstorm never opened up. Once I stopped being a nuff-nuff and finished Allegiance to the Scryers and became "officially aligned" the quests needed opened up.

After you're affiliated with The Scryers you need to talk to [npc=19468] and [npc=19469] located in Netherstorm, Area 52 Inn. You will then need to complete Bloodgem Crystals and then all quests from [npc=19468] leading up to the completion of Shutting Down Manaforge Coruu. Once you complete Shutting Down Manaforge Coruu and turn it in [npc=19469] will start giving you the quests needed to lead you up to this quest!

In order:
Kick Them While They're Down
A Defector
Damning Evidence
A Gift for Voren'thal
Bound for Glory
and then finally Turning Point!

So yeah after wasting time flying between Netherstorm and Shattrath City trying to find a way to get this quest I figure someone else out there may be like me one day and hopefully this post will help you out!

(Also I have no idea why but on some wowhead pages there are Alliance symbols next to the first two [npc=19469] quests, as a horde I was slightly confused with this to begin with but both Horde and Alliance, as long as you're with the Scyers, will be given these quests, it's not alliance only - just FYI)

Description

This is the chance we've been waiting for, {name}. Not only have we uncovered the evidence we need to show our people who Kael'thas is really working for, but we can prove our strength by defeating his new masters. My frail health prevents me from aiding you in person with this endeavor, but I will offer you an object that will allow me to project my powers across the continent.

Where to go

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.
