it is so depressing that i need to come to a website like this in order to find that out, after wasting way too much time gaslighting myself that it's my fault.

Description
When the Hal'hadar attacked, we quickly learned about their history with the Army of the Light. Commander Tala'saan has been providing us information on these ethereals. His soldiers stand ready to join our cause. I've requested their expertise in establishing a forward camp for our mission. Aid them in their preparations and inform the commander we mobilize soon.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stalkers of the Stars
With the help of Belath Dawnblade and Decimus, we've learned our enemies orchestrate their attacks from former Legion worlds. I've requested the demon hunter's aid in navigating these worlds and fortifying our defenses. Seek them out and lend them any assistance they need.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To the Voidstorm and Beyond!
It may not seem like many, but the allies we've secured will have to be enough. It's time we move out. Our forces are gathering at the Howling Ridge. The energies of the Voidstorm will allow us to open the way to these worlds. I will meet you there.
