The recruitment orders you get on return of this mission are using a super secret spy code... i.e. they've misspelled Mathias's name with two "t"'s. Oops.
Send Falstad follower on a mission from Mission Command Table on Wind's Redemption Alliance ship in Boralus.

Description
Every war is fought on multiple fronts, {class}. King Wrynn has tasked Halford Wyrmbane and his 7th Legion with securing our position in Kul Tiras as well as Zandalar. But they cannot succeed without us. We are the unseen hand. The shadows in the darkness. I have been charged with establishing an elite strike force, and I need you to act as liaison between Wyrmbane's efforts and my own. You will help direct our missions going forward. Let us begin.
