Hadn't visited my garrison for years. No one associated with the questline would give me the next quest. Talked with garrison flightmaster and took free flight to Iron Docks. Sammy Fivefinger = no quests. Hearthed back to garrison; Vol'jin was next to the command table with this quest available.

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.
