As mentioned in the comments for the reciepe related to these quests, there is a day of wait after finishing this quest to get the next ones:
New spices be good, but we already be swimming in spices from Pandaria. Da weapons be good quality, but so be the ones we make.
Doesn't seem like they have much to offer. I be worried they won't be able to offer trade in the numbers we need, ya?Teha is correct. The stuff the Steelstrikes carted out on display (spices, weapons, and rope) are nothing special, and the surface merchants would probably lose money having to pay for that stuff to be transported up to the surface. I'm surprised no one called out the many Arathi airships flying around in the background. The Alliance propeller gunships are probably fuel guzzlers and too expensive to build and operate for merchants, but these gasbag airships would probably be cheaper, and probably safer and more sophisticated than the Horde goblin airships. Perhaps the surface merchants could commission the Arathi to build more of them. The Alliance and Horde managed to get their airships down into Deepholm so it doesn't seem preposterous that airships could be built down in Hallowfall and then flown up to the surface people and handed off. Or if they can't be done, then perhaps the Arathi could buy/rent a shipyard on the surface and begin building their airships for clients from there.

Description
After the Day of Darkness, we haven't seen or heard from the earthen. I don't know why. We used to be on good terms. I'd even have considered Merrix a friend, albeit an odd one. We need this to go well.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Regular Fiber
There is a plant fiber that grows in Rumshackle and The Fangs that makes for an excellent rope. Because of the hornets, we haven't been able to collect it in a long time and are running very low in our supplies. While you are in the area, could you collect some?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spice Up Your Life
Flames blessing to you, <name>. Trade has been going well now the Ringing Deeps are safe once again and things have, relatively, calmed down. Despite that, our General still won't breathe easily. She's wound tight and it's not healthy. An unhealthy general leads to an unhealthy army.
